HEMOSTATIC DEVICE

Abstract: the disclosure relates to a hemostatic device () comprising: -a hollow shaft () extending from a first end () to a second end (), the shaft () comprising an inner channel () configured to be fluidically connected to a vacuum source, -a plurality of hollow ribs (), a first end () of each rib () being fixed to the first end () of the shaft (), each rib () comprising an inner channel () fluidically connected to the inner channel () of the shaft () and a plurality of holes () leading to the inner channel () of the respective rib (), -a membrane () extending between the ribs () and configured to be placed so as to face, at least partially, a bleeding area of a natural body cavity, the plurality of holes () of each rib () being arranged so as to face the bleeding area to induce a negative pressure in the natural body cavity when a negative pressure is applied by the vacuum source, the induced negative pressure being configured so that the wall of the natural cavity is attracted to the ribs (), and -a mechanism () configured to move the ribs () relative to the shaft () between a retracted position allowing insertion and extraction of the hemostatic device () into the natural cavity and an expanded position wherein the membrane () and the ribs () substantially fit the natural cavity.
