Comparison of Hemostasis Times with a Chitosan-Based Hemostatic Pad (Clo-SurPlus Radial™) vs Mechanical Compression (TR Band®) Following Transradial Access: A pilot Study
Abstract
Background
Hemostasis following transradial arterial access (TRA) is usually achieved by mechanical compression. This study investigated if use of a chitosan-based hemostatic pad (Clo-Sur Plus Radial™) combined with mechanical compression (TR Band®) could shorten hemostasis time after TRA, compared with a TR Band® alone.
