Femoral artery compression system, manual, single-use

A femoral artery compression system is a manual, single-use device designed to control bleeding at puncture sites after procedures like femoral artery catheterization. It applies targeted pressure to stop haemorrhage without requiring continuous hand pressure, often used as an alternative in clinical settings where direct manual compression may be impractical.

These devices are typically regulated as medical devices and may vary in design—such as discs, rollers, or inflatable bulbs—with securing mechanisms like straps or bandages. They are not powered and are intended for one-time use, often paired with dressings or haemostatic agents (though the agents themselves are not part of the system).
