FIELD: medical engineering.
SUBSTANCE: device has thread knitted into fabric. Fabric for tamponing wound and removing it by pulling the thread is connected to internal film surface with collagen gel. The film overlaps fabric area and has opening equal to two-lumen draining tube canal connected to external film surface and having one canal longer than the other one. Distal end of the shorter canal is connected to opening in the film and distal end of the longer one is brought outside of its boundary. Proximal ends are connectable to vacuum receiver. Fabric thread is brought to the shorter canal from the internal wall and fixed on the external shorter canal wall.
EFFECT: reliability in stopping hemorrhages and retaining patient mobility.
