The present invention provides a sterile packaging which considerably reduces the risk for contamination of a part which shall be in contact with an area on the patient's body, and which can be exposed to the risk of infection. More specifically, the invention consists of a single-use air cushion unit (6) for use with a femoral compressor (1). The latter consists of an arch (2) and connecting part (17) on the arch. The air cushion unit (6) consists of a base plate (7) and an inflatable air cushion (8) attached to the baseplate (7). The distinguishing feature of the invention is that a shielding element (4) in the form of a lid made of a flexible material and which can be removed using a tab (5), is fused along the periphery of the air cushion (8). In this way the sterile air cushion's (8) contact surface (A) is protected in a safe way from contamination. |
