Bleeding control device
View Patent ↗A bleeding control device for mitigating bleeding includes an outer storage container housing, a compressed gas canister, wound blocking contents and a control element. The bleeding control device may be used to deliver variable contents to a wound at the site of injury to control the bleeding of a victim as temporary solution for mitigating the bleeding until more advanced medical care can be provided. A bleeding control device includes a canister housing, a compressed gas canister arranged within the canister housing, a tube connected to the canister housing, an inflatable balloon disposed on the tube, the inflatable balloon being fluidly connected to the compressed gas canister, and a control element configured to activate the compressed gas canister to inflate the inflatable balloon.
1. A bleeding control device comprising:
an outer storage container housing;
a compressed spring arranged within the outer storage container housing;
wound blocking content arranged within the outer storage container housing; and
an activator configured to activate the compressed spring to deploy the wound blocking content from the outer storage container housing,
wherein the wound blocking content is configured to pack an open wound when deployed.
2. The bleeding control device according to claim 1 , further comprising a compressed gas canister and a regulator, wherein the wound blocking content comprises an inflatable balloon, wherein the regulator is configured to regulate a pressure inside the inflatable balloon when the compressed gas canister is activated.
3. The bleeding control device according to claim 2 , wherein the inflatable balloon is coated with an antibacterial cream.
4. The bleeding control device according to claim 2 , further comprising an adjustable control connected to the regulator, wherein the adjustable control is selectively adjustable to vary the pressure inside the inflatable balloon when the compressed gas canister is activated.
5. The bleeding control device according to claim 4 , wherein the inflatable balloon is coated with an antibacterial cream.
6. The bleeding control device according to claim 1 , wherein the wound blocking content comprises packed gauze or other absorptive material.
7. The bleeding control device according to claim 1 , wherein the wound blocking content comprises a hemostatic and/or antibiotic material.
8. The bleeding control device according to claim 1 , further comprising a piston, wherein the compressed spring is configured to drive the piston to deploy the wound blocking content from the outer storage container housing when activated by the activator.
9. The bleeding control device according to claim 8 , further comprising a stop configured to prevent the piston from moving beyond the stop in a longitudinal direction of the outer storage container housing.
10. The bleeding control device according to claim 1 , further comprising a compressed gas canister, wherein the wound blocking content comprises an inflatable balloon.
11. The bleeding control device according to claim 10 , further comprising a valve configured to determine an opening degree of the compressed gas canister.
12. A bleeding control device comprising:
an outer storage container housing;
a resilient member arranged within the outer storage container housing;
wound blocking content arranged within the outer storage container housing; and
an activator configured to activate the resilient member to deploy the wound blocking content from the outer storage container housing;
wherein the wound blocking content is configured to pack an open wound when deployed.
13. The bleeding control device according to claim 12 , wherein the wound blocking content comprises packed gauze or other absorptive material.
14. The bleeding control device according to claim 12 , further comprising a piston, wherein the compressed spring is configured to drive the piston to deploy the wound blocking content from the outer storage container housing when activated by the activator.
15. The bleeding control device according to claim 12 , further comprising a stop configured to prevent the piston from moving beyond the stop in a longitudinal direction of the outer storage container housing.
