<p>The present invention relates to a device (1) for suppressing post-catheterization wound bleeding in the radial artery at the wrist (6) of a patient. The device comprises an elongated compression element (4), a pressure distribution and support plate (2) arranged essentially on the opposite side of the wrist (6) relative to said compression element (4), and one or more strap means (3a, 3b, 3c) for holding said compression element (4) and said pressure distribution plate (2) in place. The pressure distribution and support plate (2) have a bottom portion (11), a first side wall (10a) and a second side wall (10b). Said first side wall (10a) extends upwards a distance exceeding the thickness of the wrist. The plate (2) forms an angle, to enable the wrist (6) to be firmly maintained in a bent position. The pressure element (4) is slidably attached to one of the straps (3c), such that it may be positioned at various locations sideways across the wrist (6).</p> |
