The present application discloses devices and methods for monitoring the performance of a hemostasis device during a hemostatic procedure.

An apparatus for deployment of a hemostatic clip includes a handle assembly, a shaft connected to a distal portion thereof and a clip assembly releasably coupled to a distal portion of the shaft. The clip assembly includes clip arms and a capsule cooperating with the clip arms to provide a first user feedback indicating a decision configuration of the clip assembly. In addition, the apparatus includes a control wire including a ball connector, the control wire extending from the handle assembly and coupled to the clip assembly by the ball connector to maintain the clip assembly coupled to the shaft, wherein the ball connector is detachable from the clip assembly to provide a second user feedback indicating separation of the clip assembly.

A method of inducing retrograde blood flow may include extending a sheath through opposite walls of one of an artery and a vein of a subject and through a wall of the other of the artery and the vein such that a distal end of the sheath may be positioned within one of the artery and the vein. The method may include inducing retrograde blood flow in the artery and delivering the induced retrograde blood flow into the vein of the subject via the sheath.

A hemostasis device configured to apply a compressive force to a puncture site of a patient's vessel, such as an artery of the foot, is disclosed. The hemostasis device may include a compression member having a plurality of tabs and an inflatable bladder. A plurality of bands may be used to position and maintain the compression member over the puncture site until hemostasis is achieved are releasably coupled to the plurality of tabs. A first band can wrap around the ankle, a second band can wrap around the foot, and a third band can extend between two toes or around a toe. The hemostasis device may also comprise an inflation port in fluid communication with the inflatable bladder.

A multifunctional pill box carrying pouch is revealed. The pill box carrying pouch includes at least one pill box, at least one pouch, and at least two long ties. The pill box is a rigid rectangular box while the two long ties form a single longer tie. The respective long ties are detachably connected to the pouch by the two second connecting members. The pill box carrying pouch has a limb-carrying mode and a waist-carrying mode. Users can select the limb-carrying mode of the pill box carrying pouch when user's limb is injured and a support for the limb is required. By the two long ties arranged adjacent to each other and tightened around an arm or a leg of the human body, the pill box carrying pouch is closely attached to the wound on the limb for supporting wounded area or for hemostasis.

A hemostatic clip and an auxiliary system are disclosed. The hemostatic clip includes a first clip arm (110), a second clip arm (120), a tightening tube (140), a middle clip arm (150), an intermediate assembly (160), a traction assembly (170), a control handle (180) and at least two separators (190). The traction assembly (170) is connected to both the control handle (180) and the intermediate assembly (160), and the intermediate assembly (160) is connected to the tightening tube (140). Both the first clip arm (110) and the second clip arm (120) are proximally connected to the traction assembly (170). The middle clip arm (150) extends through the tightening tube (140) and is fixed proximally to the intermediate assembly (160). The first clip arm (110) and the second clip arm (120) are disposed on opposite sides of the middle clip arm (150). The first clip arm (110) makes up a first clip together with the middle clip arm (150), and the second clip arm (120) makes up a second clip together with the middle clip arm (150). The control handle (180) is configured to open or close the first clip and/or the second clip corresponding to the first clip arm (110) and/or second clip arm (120). The separators (190) are disposed in a lumen of the tightening tube (140) in such a manner that they are individually located between the first clip arm (110) and the middle clip arm (150) and between the second clip arm (120) and the middle clip arm (150), thus reducing the risk of device faults caused by interference of the first clip arm (110) and the second clip arm (120) with the middle clip arm (150).

A radial artery sheath assembly includes a cuff that is wearable around a patient's wrist and a receiver is integrated into the cuff. The cuff is inflatable to compress an incision in the patient's wrist to achieve homeostasis for stopping bleeding. A ring is removably attachable to the cuff and a radial sheath is extendable through the ring to retain the radial sheath in the incision in the user's wrist when the ring is attached to the cuff. The ring is inflatable for compressing the radial sheath in the ring to inhibit the radial sheath from being removed from the incision. A lock is coupled to the ring and the lock releasably engages the receiver in the cuff for attaching the ring to the cuff.

A device and method is provided herein for esophageal impingement of a patient's aorta. The device may be inserted into a patient's esophagus and positioned at the location where the esophagus passes over the patient's aorta. In this position, an actuation device is used to apply pressure to the patient's aorta through their esophagus to impinge or occlude the aorta to stop or significantly reduce hemorrhaging. A manually operable actuator handle enables a physician to manipulate a head assembly of the device through three distinct degrees of freedom of movement so as to control placement and direction of force against the patient's esophagus and, in turn, their aorta.

A hemostatic device includes a main body belt to be wound around at least a part of a patient's hand/wrist, and a pressing member positionable at a puncture site of the patient's hand to compress the puncture site. The main body belt includes a distal region, and a proximal region farther from the patient's fingertip than the distal region. The distal region includes an anchor portion having a space portion configured to receive the patient's finger and open at opposite ends to receive the patient's finger while the fingertip protrudes distally beyond the anchor portion. The pressing member allows the puncture site to be viewed from outside while the pressing member is at the puncture site, and is fixed to the distal region at a position spaced from the insertion port on an inner surface of the main body belt at which the insertion port is provided.

The present disclosure provides a catheter assembly including a catheter tube and an expandable unit attached to the catheter tube. The expandable unit is configurable in a collapsed configuration for facilitating delivery of the catheter assembly through a body lumen and a fully expanded configuration for contacting an interior wall of the body lumen to cover a perforation. The expandable unit defines a longitudinal channel extending from a proximal end to a distal end of the expandable unit when in the fully expanded configuration, permitting blood flow past the expandable unit. The disclosure further provides a method of treating a perforation by delivering a catheter assembly with an expandable unit to a perforation site, expanding the expandable unit to contact an interior wall of a body lumen to cover the perforation, and permitting blood flow past the expandable unit while in contact with the interior wall covering the perforation.
