ROC Band® is a mechanical radial compression band designed to support patent haemostasis following radial, distal radial and ulnar arterial access.
By allowing controlled pressure adjustment over the puncture site, ROC Band helps clinicians maintain radial artery patency and reduce the risk of radial artery occlusion (RAO).
Controlled by a simple screw cap connected to a silicone pad, it is 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

Radial artery occlusion (RAO) is a recognised complication following transradial access procedures. Patent haemostasis aims to control bleeding at the access site while maintaining blood flow through the radial artery, helping preserve the artery for future procedures.
ROC Band® has been designed to support this process by giving clinicians controlled mechanical compression, clear visibility of the puncture site and access for ulnar compression checks when performing patent haemostasis.
Patent haemostasis is a technique used after radial artery access procedures, such as coronary angiography, to control bleeding while maintaining blood flow through the radial artery.
Rather than fully occluding the vessel, patent haemostasis applies enough pressure to achieve haemostasis while preserving radial artery patency. This is important because radial artery occlusion (RAO) is a recognised complication after transradial access and may limit future use of the artery.
ROC Band® is designed to make patent haemostasis easier to manage, with controlled mechanical compression, a clearly visible puncture site and space for ulnar compression checks.

“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.”

“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”

“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%)”

Radial artery occlusion, often shortened to RAO, is a complication that can occur after transradial access when blood flow through the radial artery is reduced or blocked.
Patent haemostasis applies enough compression to control bleeding while maintaining blood flow through the radial artery. This helps preserve radial artery patency and may reduce the risk of radial artery occlusion after radial access procedures.
ROC Band® supports radial artery occlusion prevention by helping clinicians manage patent haemostasis with controlled mechanical compression, clear puncture-site visibility and access for ulnar compression checks.
