Abstract
Methods and devices for temporarily occluding blood vessels are provided for use in emergency conditions to control trauma-induced hemorrhaging. An occlusion device is delivered and deployed through a rapidly introduced, percutaneously placed needle that carries an occlusion device in readiness to be deployed out of the needle. The deployed occlusion device applies pressure to the target blood vessel to control blood loss.
