TR bands
TRAcelet
A device intended to provide compression for haemostasis to the puncture site on a patient having undergone radial artery catheterization, and can be used as an alternative to direct hand pressure. It typically consists of one or more pad/strap(s), which may also have a compression/decompression knob and a time indicator; it may be applied so that it does not compress the ulna artery or block venous return. It is typically used following coronary angiography/ventriculography or percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). This is a single-use device.
