A device for establishing hemostasis of an open blood vessel in a person's extremity operates by the application of pressure to the open vessel. The device includes a first strip, having first and second ends, that is formable into a curved configuration and defining a length exceeding the width of the extremity by a factor of at least 1.5. A flexible second strip of similar length has third and fourth ends. The first and second strips are connected at the first and third ends through a hinge or cooperating connector elements, the first strip having a first connector element at the second end, and the second strip having a second connector element at the fourth end. An absorbent pad is arranged around the center of one of the strips, and is supported on the strip by a compressible or flexible element that includes or cooperates with an indicator that indicates the pressure applied to the vessel by the pad. The strips are positionable around the extremity for applying pressure to the extremity at the area of the open vessel by the adjustment of the strips by means of the connector elements.
