Comparison of Hemostasis Times With a Kaolin-Based Hemostatic Pad (QuikClot Radial) vs Mechanical Compression (TR Band) Following Transradial Access: A Pilot Prospective Study

08/15/2017

Jonathan S. Roberts , MD;

Jianli Niu , MD, PhD;

Juan A. Pastor-Cervantes , MD;

Hemostasis following transradial access (TRA) is usually achieved by mechanical compression. We investigated use of the QuikClot Radial hemostasis pad compared with the TR Band to shorten hemostasis after TRA.

Hemostasis following transradial...
