A hand/wrist positioning splint to keep the hand positioned for radial artery access and to permit application of a hemostasis band to apply pressure to the radical artery puncture site to permit closing of said puncture site, is provided. The splint includes a rigid structure (12A) for positioning a patient's hand, and wrist in a fixed hyper-extended state, the structure (12A) having a distal end surface to support a patient's hand, and palm up, the end surface extends downwardly from the wrist position to make a first fixed angle with a horizontal plane. The rigid structure also has a wrist/forearm support surface also extending downwardly from the wrist position to make a second fixed angle with a horizontal plane. Straps (16A) are provided for securing the hand, and the wrist/forearm in fixed position on the rigid structure. An opening (20A) in the wrist/forearm surface of the rigid support below the point of arterial access permits application of a hemostasis band to the arterial puncture site.

L'invention porte sur une attelle d'immobilisation de la main et du poignet, qui immobilise la main pour permettre l'accès à l'artère radiale et la mise en place d'une bande d'hémostase destinée à exercer une pression sur le point de perforation de l'artère radiale pour le fermer. L'attelle comprend une structure rigide (12A) pour immobiliser la main et le poignet d'un patient dans un état d'hyperextension, ladite structure (12A) présentant une surface d'extrémité distale pour soutenir la main d'un patient dont la paume est tournée vers le haut. Cette surface d'extrémité s'étend vers le bas, à partir de la position du poignet, pour former un premier angle fixe par rapport au plan horizontal. Des sangles (16A) permettent de maintenir la main et le poignet/avant-bras dans une position fixe sur la structure rigide. Une ouverture (20A) ménagée dans la surface d'appui du poignet/avant-bras du support rigide, au-dessous du point d'accès à l'artère, permet la mise en place d'une bande d'hémostase sur le point de perforation de l'artère.
