Occluders designed to be inserted in the anterior sacrum bone to control hemorrhage in presacral venous bleeding. These occluders typically consist of small (e.g., 7, 10, 12 mm) metallic pins that may include either smooth or beveled groove shafts; special applicators may be used to hold the pin during insertion. Presacral bleeding occluders are mostly used during emergency surgery involving surgical mobilization of the rectum.
