1. An arthroscopic bleeding control device that shows a static absorptive and hemostatic effect against hemorrhage in an articular cavity that can be exposed by an arthroscopy part, the arthroscopic bleeding control device comprising:
a hemostatic block configured to be inserted in the articular cavity through the arthroscopy part; and
a hemostatic unit including a lead line extending from the hemostatic block to protrude outside through the arthroscopy part,
wherein the hemostatic block is formed by winding or folding a hemostatic band elongated in a longitudinal direction and is then compressed in a thickness direction at least into a reference thickness for insertion into the articular cavity, so the hemostatic block can be expanded at least in the thickness direction by hemorrhage in the articular cavity,
wherein, when the lead line is pulled, the hemostatic band is unwound or unfolded from the expanding hemostatic block, so the hemostatic block is taken out of the articular cavity,
wherein the hemostatic block includes a spiral folded part formed by sequentially layering a first extension forming a portion of the hemostatic band, a second extension layered on the end of the first extension to cross the first extension, a third extension layered on the end of the second extension to cross the second extension and to be parallel with the first extension, a fourth extension layered on the end of the third extension to cross the third extension and the first extension and to be parallel with the second extension, and a fifth extension crossing the fourth extension and layered on the first extension,
wherein the lead line extends from the first extension, and
wherein the spiral folded part is compressed into the reference thickness in a layering direction of the hemostatic band.
