System for Occluding a Blood Vessel, Especially After Artery Catheterization

摘要

A system for occluding a blood vessel at a site of puncture of a blood vessel, especially after artery catheterization, comprises an oblong occlusive means ( 13 ) that has a shank ( 14 ) and a compression surface ( 15 ) configured thereon as the end face. The shank comprises a continuous bore ( 17 ) that extends through the compression surface to accommodate at least one guide means ( 11 ) inserted into the blood vessel and is, on the distal end ( 20 ) opposite the compression surface, adapted to be fixed on the patient on the skin when the compression surface is advanced towards the site of puncture ( 2 ).
