Interventional Radiology Equipment: TR Band Radial Artery Compression Device

OVERVIEW

This page is dedicated to exploring what is included in (and how to use) the TR Band Radial Artery Compression Device. This device  is commonly used in interventional radiology to apply compression to a radial artery access site at the end of a case. The kit used on this page and in the videos below is the Termumo TR Band (REF TRB24-REG). 

The TR band is very commonly used to apply pressure to radial access sites to avoid having to hold manual compression at the end of a case (image source).
