The femoral artery compression hemostat is a femoral artery compression hemostat is a hemostatic device applied after vascular interventions. It is mainly used to compress the femoral artery puncture site from outside the body by mechanical compression force to promote hemostasis of the puncture opening.
The transfemoral route is the most common route for vascular interventions, and postoperative femoral artery puncture site compression hemostasis is a prominent problem. Femoral artery compression hemostasis devices are accepted by the majority of patients for their advantages of significantly reducing the patient's operative limb braking time, reducing complications, and enhancing comfort.
Generally speaking, the traditional gauze roll compression hemostasis takes 24 hours, but if the femoral artery compression hemostat is used, it only takes 6-8 hours, which obviously shortens the postoperative braking time of patients and greatly reduces postoperative complications, so it has been recognized by the majority of patients. In the process of specific clinical use, the occurrence of complications of the compression device will certainly be further reduced by selecting appropriate patients and standardizing the operation technique.
The femoral artery compression hemostat currently has about dozens of interventions for diagnosis and treatment via the femoral artery route. They can be roughly divided into four categories: cardiac intervention, peripheral vascular intervention, cerebrovascular intervention, and tumor intervention, and the predecessor of the femoral artery compression hemostasis device is the sandbag compression method. Sandbag compression method: After the interventional procedure is completed, the operator first performs manual compression on the patient's femoral artery puncture site for 10 to 15 minutes. Then a sandbag of about 0.5 kg is used to compress the continuous puncture site for more than 6 hours, and the punctured limb is braked for 24 hours.
