Radial artery compression device

A radial artery compression device is designed to apply controlled pressure to the radial artery puncture site after procedures such as coronary angiography or angioplasty, helping to achieve haemostasis without requiring continuous manual hand pressure. It serves as an alternative to traditional compression methods, allowing for patient comfort and clinician efficiency during post-procedural care.

These devices are typically single-use and consist of adjustable pads and straps, often featuring a compression knob and time indicator to monitor and manage pressure application. They are intended to compress only the radial artery while avoiding occlusion of the ulnar artery or venous return, and are regulated as medical devices based on their intended use and design characteristics.
