Abstract
Bleeding is controlled on an inner surface of a body cavity by inserting into the cavity an expandable balloon which is covered by a hemostatic shroud, expanding the balloon, and compressing the shroud against the site of bleeding. The balloon may be disposed around a central tube to supply inflation medium. The tip of the device is soft to aid with insertion. The invention includes the corresponding devices and systems for such control of bleeding within a body cavity or passageway, as well as a method of making the devices.
