Provided herein are vascular compression devices that may be used to apply pressure to an area of the body of a subject near or at a wound site following an injury or procedure (e.g., a catheterization procedure) involving one or more veins and/or arteries. The vascular compression device may include a plate having a concave face and an opposing face; a first strut and a second strut extending from and disposed adjacent opposite edges of the opposing face of the plate; and a pressure bar spaced away from the plate by the first and second struts and spanning a distance between the first and second struts.
