An improved femoral aterial or venous compressive device is comprised of a flexible pelvic apron positioned over the femoral vessels within the human pelvis. The pelvic apron is placed in position by means of a hip strap. The hip straps are led from the pelvic apron upwardly over the hip points, around the small of the back and down over the opposing hip point back to the pelvic apron. The pelvic apron thus hangs from the hip points of the pelvis much like an apron. A shaped mass or pellet is attached to the under side of the pelvic apron over the incision site of the femoral vessel. An elastically extensible groin strap is then attached to the pelvic apron in the proximity of the shaped mass and drawn tightly through the groin, around the back of the leg, under the buttocks and back upwardly to the pelvic apron in the proximity of the shaped mass. As a result, the tensile force is applied by the groin strap across the pelvic apron up to the hip point and also around the leg. The shaped mass is forced by the tourniquet action of the groin strap and pelvic apron in combination downwardly into the pelvis, thereby compressing the underlying femoral vessel and thus assising in stanching any blood flow or fluid leakage.

An apparatus for applying pressure to an incision point in a femoral vessel within the groin in the abdomen of a human body having a hip point comprising: a pellet means for applying a directed force to said femoral vessel of said human body; a pelvic apron means for positioning said pellet means over said femoral vessel in one leg, said pellet means attached to said pelvic apron means, said pelvic apron means adapted to encircle said abdomen and including a linear vertically inclined hip strap adapted to extend linearly from said hip point downwardly toward said groin over said incision point in said femoral vessel, said hip strap for exerting a first component of an inward compressive force on said pellet means; and groin strap means for applying a second component of said compressive force to said pellet means tending to compress said femoral vessel, so that a substantial inward force is adjustably applied to said femoral vessel and blood flow therefrom is stanched, said groin strap means having a first and second end, said first end colinearly attached to said hip strap, said groin strap means adapted to linearly extend over said point of attachment of said pellet means to said pelvic apron means toward said groin, and adapted to extend around and behind said one leg with said second end of said groin strap means attaching to said pelvic apron means in the overlapping proximity of said point of attachment thereto of said pellet means to include said pellet means within the encirclement of said groin strap means, said groin strap means adapted to encircle the upper portion of said one leg in an oblique plane about said leg and attaching at one point to said said apron means, said groin strap means and pelvic apron means forming in combination a figure of eight with the intersection of said figure of eight at said point of attachment of said pellet means at said groin strap means.
