This application introduces an improved and modified version of previously applied means of prevention from bleeding by this applicant. The previous applications were as follows D. Device, Pressure bandages and dressings, Device 2, D. Device 3, and D. Device 4 which were all primarily designed for this purpose. Here again wraps are primarily made from a non-stretchable material although elastic materials are introduced in which these wraps will allow the application of pressure by an inflatable balloon, fluid-filled bag, or even a hard proper plate to certain wounds on the body to prevent bleeding and related complications. In this application it is stressed that the front part of these units on the wound will be made clear to allow visualization of the wound. A hard plastic is also introduced to be placed in front of the balloon or on the wound site. Many other modifications are introduced as well. The inventor believes that these units will be very useful in this regard. The unit with only minimal modification can also be very useful in patients with inguinal hernia, after hernia operations, or similar surgeries as well.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION We claim: 1.
A device for applying pressure to a person's groin comprising a wrap holding a pressure-applying means against a person's groin, said wrap comprising a frontal portion overlying a person's groin for holding said pressure-applying means so that pressure of said pressure-applying means is exerted inwardly against a person's groin, said wrap further comprising an abdomen-wrap portion extending from said frontal portion for encircling the abdomen proximate the groin and a thigh-wrap portion extending from said frontal portion for encircling the thigh proximate the groin, wherein said frontal portion comprises a non-stretchable clear plastic to which both said abdomen- and thigh-wrap portions are attached, in which said non-stretchable clear plastic is a rigid clear plastic that straddles both the thigh-side and the abdomen side of a person's groin line and that has a size that fits in front of a person's body totally on one side of the vertical midline of the person's body.
2.
A device as set forth in claim 1 in which said rigid clear plastic comprises a dome for providing clearance to one or more intravascular sheaths when the device is applied to a person.
3.
A device as set forth in claim 1 in which said pressure-applying means comprises an inflatable balloon disposed beneath said rigid clear plastic, and said rigid clear plastic comprises a hole providing for said balloon to be placed in communication with an inflation means for inflating the balloon.
4.
A device as set forth in claim 1 in which said abdomen-wrap portion includes a back support for supporting a portion of the back of a supine person that would otherwise be unsupported.
5.
A device as set forth in claim 4 in which said back support separably mounts on said abdomen-wrap portion, comprising a tunnel through which said abdomen-wrap portion passes.
6.
A device as set forth in claim 5 in which said back support comprises inflatable means for inflating the back support to a desired degree of support
