The present invention relates to a device for use in endoscopic operations, for example laparoscopic surgery, to stop or restrain internal bleedings. The device comprises a sleeve, whose distal end is adapted to be inserted through an opening in the patient's body, a blood flow stopping means comprising a structure surrounding a through-opening for mechanical compression of a blood vessel on each side of any injury to the vessel, and at least one actuator which extends through the sleeve and which at its distal end is connected to the blood flow stopping means, the actuator being movable relative to the sleeve for actuating the blood flow stopping means. |
