Which pressure point is infra-orbital?

Understanding where facial pressure points sit helps with bleeding control. The infra-orbital pressure point is located just beneath the eye, over the infraorbital foramen along the maxillary artery. Pressing firmly there targets the artery in that region to reduce bleeding from facial wounds. The other options point to different areas (jaw angle, a leg point, or a midline point) and are not infra-orbital. So the infra-orbital site is the correct one.
