DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING EXTRA-VASCULAR HAEMORRHAGE

摘要

The present invention provides an inflatable device 1 for insertion in a substantially deflated state, into a blood or other biological fluid carrying vessel 4 for controlling extra-vascular hemorrhage from a damaged portion 6 of the vessel 4 when the device 1 is in an inflated state. The device 1 defines in its inflated state an elongate open-ended tube having a passage 8 extending therethrough, through which blood or another biological fluid flows while allowing repair of the damaged portion 6 of the vessel 4.
