Abstract
A compressive hemostatic belt which is easily operable and thrown away after use, incorporates a strip (1) in the form of a nonstretch or low-stretch textile fabric, and a bag (5) expansible by being filled with fluid that is attached to the strip at a predetermined position by an attaching device. A pump (8) and a pressure gauge (9) are connected to the bag (5) attached at the predetermined position on the strip (1), so that the bag is expanded by operating the pump so as to fill the bag (5) with a suitable fluid while watching the pressure gauge (9). The bag thus presses down on an area (A) where bleeding is to be stopped.
