(Radial Optimal Compression) Band

ROC Band® applies mechanical optimal compression following radial, distal radial and ulnar arterial access.

Controlled by a simple screw cap connected to silicone pad.

It’s easy to use, syringe–free and produces less waste.

Available in two sizes:

ROC – 1: For standard wrists <22cm or 8.7″
ROC – 2: For large wrists <28.5cm or 11.2″ circumference

(Enables easier Patent Haemostasis)

Radial Band Comparison

Mechanical ROC Band
– NO syringe required
One self-contained, easy-to-use mechanical device
Pneumatic Balloon Band
– requires syringe
Pneumatic Balloon Band
Two components required to use; a compression balloon band + an Inflation syringe.

Benefits of ROC Band

Very Simple to Use

Puncture Site Clearly Visible

No Syringes Required

Reduced Waste

Contact Area Comparison

Pneumatic Balloon Band contact area reduces with inflation, increasing chance of geographical miss.

ROC Band has a flat comfortable pad, the contact area does not decrease with compression.

Radial Optimal Compression Band For Optimal Patent Haemostasis

What is Patent Haemostasis?

Patent haemostasis is a technique used after radial artery access for procedures like coronary angiography, aiming to control bleeding while maintaining blood flow through the artery. It involves applying just enough pressure to stop bleeding without completely occluding the vessel and disrupting blood flow. This technique helps prevent radial artery occlusion (RAO), a potential complication after radial access.

Ask the Experts

“Is patent haemostasis after radial access truly valuable?”

Patent haemostasis along with procedural anticoagulation and minimising catheter size is an important part of hygienic measures to minimise radial artery occlusion (RAO). Evidence shows that this method works and can drive RAO down to <1% … and patent haemostasis does add some extra work for the nurses.”

Successful patent haemostasis - Drives RAO down to

“No manoeuvre method or systematic treatment of the radial artery has been reported to be as important and successful at maintaining radial patency than patent haemostasis. In the PROPHET study, failure to maintain patent haemostasis is related to RAO with an odds ratio of 13:1

Failure to maintain patent haemostasis - RAO odds of 13:1

“The reported incidence of RAO is quite variable but is probably somewhere around 10%. This technique requires using a device that allows for the fine-tuning of air/pressure. If you’re using a device that can’t be fine-tuned, get a new device … early patency nearly guarantees late patency (99.1%)”
