    摘要: A surgical instrument for at least partial occlusion of uterine blood vessels during surgery involving the uterus and a method for using the same is provided. The surgical instrument comprises an elongated, flexible tourniquet having a first end and a second end. A lashing member is disposed at or proximate to the first end while a portion of the tourniquet proximate to the second end defines a series of successive holes configured to releasably and even adjustably maintain the lashing member in place so that the tourniquet may form a secure loop. The surgical instrument may further comprise an introducer formed as a flexible yet resilient sheath configured to aid placement of the tourniquet around a lower uterine segment and uterine vessels. In accordance with the method, once the tourniquet is placed and lashing member is secured, the sheath may be removed from the tourniquet, and operation may proceed.

    摘要: A trauma dressing article includes a body on which a cap of absorbent material is disposed. A wrap strip is attached to the body at one end of the wrap strip. The trauma dressing article is particularly suited for treating wounds at junctional locations of the body (e.g. armpits, groin) to prevent exsanguination. The body of the article is oriented such that the absorbent material is positioned towards the wound site, and then the body is moved to press the absorbent material into the wound site. The wrap strip is then wrapped around portions of the injured person's body and over the article to create an inward pressure against the wound site.

    摘要: Devices and methods for creating hemostasis at a subcutaneous vascular puncture are disclosed. The methods and devices may be used to close vascular punctures following trans-radial arterial procedures, e.g., catheterization and percutaneous coronary intervention. The devices may include a housing defining a suction chamber and an anvil disposed within the suction chamber and adhesively attached to the limb of a patient such that the apparatus creates a pulling force as well as a pushing force on the patient's skin, subcutaneous tissue, and artery. Alternatively, the pulling force and pushing force may be accomplished be mechanical means.

    摘要: Disclosed is a tourniquet, comprising a fixing module, a hemostasis module, and an indication module. A floating nut is arranged around a pressure stud, with the upper end of the floating nut being fixedly connected to a rotary knob, and the lower end of the floating nut being provided with a support part; the spinning press block is arranged around the floating nut, with an inner side of the spinning press block abutting against the floating nut, an outer side of the spinning press block being in thread-fit connection with an inner side of a protrusion, and the lower end of the spinning press block being supported by the support part; the spinning press block is provided with a holding hole penetrating through from top to bottom; the spring is sheathed outside the floating nut, with the upper end of the spring abutting against the top face of the protrusion, and the lower end thereof abutting against the upper end of the spinning press block; the connecting piece is disposed in the holding hole; the connecting piece does not rise along with the spinning press block, but rotates along with the spinning press block, and the lower end of the connecting piece is fixedly connected to the pointer; and the pointer rotates along with the connecting piece to point to different pressure values on the dial plate; a time device can also be provided to measure the hemostasis time; the tourniquet can be locked. The present invention is simple in terms of structure and easy to process, easier to observation of the value of applied pressure, highly precise, convenient timekeeping, and safer.
