ABSTRACT
Massive hemorrhage from the inguinal space is an indication for the use of the Femostop device in the emergency department. This case report describes a middle-aged male with metastatic and recurrent penile cancer status post inguinal lymph node dissection and chemoradiation with a nonhealing left groin wound with extension to the femoral vessels. The patient experienced massive bleeding from erosion of an open wound in left groin into femoral vein requiring massive transfusion. Direct pressure and pressure dressings were unable to control the bleeding present in the patient's left groin. The Femostop device was applied and hemostasis was immediately achieved.
