    Author: Yokoo A, Sugita K, Kobayashi S, Matsuo K.
    Journal: J Neurosurg; 1982 Sep; 57(3):323-7. PubMed ID: 7097327.
    Abstract:
    A new hemostatic method has been devised that uses a metal shield for treating accidentally injured major cerebral arteries. The metal shield is made of stainless steel, and has a small plate on its outer surface that allows it to be held in a regular aneurysm clip holder. Three different sizes of shield are available. The metal shield is applied to an injured artery with Oxycel and Biobond and held for a few minutes. Bleeding stops instantaneously. This is a simple and effective hemostatic method for an injured artery of small size. Experimental results and clinical application of this method are described.
