DEVICES AND METHODS TO PREVENT BLEEDING FROM NEEDLE PUNCTURE SITES OF ARTERIOVENOUS GRAFTS

摘要

The present disclosure is generally directed to a compressive device for occluding an arteriovenous graft needle puncture site. The compressive device includes a body and a compression ridge. The body has a first side, a second side, and a semi-curved shape such that it conforms to the contour of an arteriovenous graft. The compression ridge is positioned on the second side of the body and has a skin contacting surface able to externally compress and temporarily occlude an arteriovenous graft needle puncture site, the needle puncture site being visible from the first side of the body of the compressive device.
