Hemostasis Device for Arterial Catheterization

By HospiMedica staff writers
Posted on 06 Jan 2004
An inflatable pressure-dressing is designed to maintain hemostasis after manual compression for arterial catheterization procedures.

In many catheterization procedures, manual compression is still used to control bleeding. More...
The new device, called Safeguard, is a single-use adhesive dressing with an inflatable see-through plastic bulb. The user places Safeguard over the patient's puncture wound site and inflates the bulb with air from a syringe. The inflated bulb is inelastic and provides consistent pressure over the wound site to maintain hemostasis. The see-through bulb allows easy monitoring of the wound site.

After completing an evaluation of Safeguard at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York (NY, USA), Dr. Jeffrey Moses, chief, interventional cardiology, said, "Safeguard is easy to use, effective, and reliable.” The device proved effective at maintaining hemostasis following femorally accessed coronary catheterization procedures, adhering to wound sites reliably for hours, and producing no complications.

Safeguard is the product of Datascope Corp. (Montvale, NJ, USA), a diversified medical device company that makes and markets products for clinical healthcare markets in interventional cardiology and radiology, cardiovascular and vascular surgery, anesthesiology, emergency medicine, and critical care.
