    AbstractThis article describes the use of a Foley catheter placed through the entrance of the penetrating wound to control hemorrhage from sites that are difficult to access by direct pressure, such as neck and groin. A case describing the use of the method is presented. This technique is almost unknown in Israel even though it has been published in the medical literature. Everyone involved in treating trauma patients should know this method for use in appropriate situations.
