Pressure Wedge
The unique design of the Wedge eliminates the need to use sand bags as a form of pressure on a patient’s groin.
In a clinical study involving 77 PTCA patients, findings show the Wedge significantly reduced the incidence of groin hematomas.
The Wedge allows you to apply pressure while at the same time maintaining patient comfort. Instead of applying “general” pressure over a large area with a heavy sand bag, the lightweight Wedge, with a firm inner core, directs just the right pressure to the exact spot.
If you perform any special procedures involving entry with a femoral puncture, the advantages of the Wedge are definitely worth your consideration.
