COMBINATION HEMOSTATIC TABLET OR POWDER AND RADIAL ARTERIAL COMPRESSION BAND WITH SYRINGE ASSEMBLY

摘要

A combination radial arm band and hemostatic material preferably including potassium ferrate and a cation ion exchange resin in powder or granular form (WOUNDSEAL) or formed into a solid tablet (STATSEAL) and having improved topical effectiveness in the arresting of blood flow from a puncture wound into the radial artery made during transradial diagnostic or interventional catheterization procedures. The combination reduces time and pressure needed to achieve hemostasis and decreases arterial damage as compared to use of a radial arm band alone. In one aspect of this disclosure, careful limitation of applied force and time of applied force against the STATSEAL tablet reduces likelihood of harm to the radial artery while minimizing time to achieve hemostasis.
