MAQUET received both FDA clearance and EU CE Mark for its AIR-BAND Radial Compression Device. Designed to bring hemostasis after transradial procedures, the AIR-BAND compresses the access site while keeping it visible for monitoring by clinicians.
The compression pressure can be easily adjusted with a standard syringe via a luer valve that inflates a clear balloon above the puncture site.
From the product page:
AIR-BAND offers patient comfort with a non-woven textile band and has no sharp plastic edges or straps that stick out. In addition, there is no need to keep a custom syringe until the device is removed.
AIR-BAND is easy to use and simple to apply. With four easy steps, the application and removal process is similar to SAFEGUARD.
AIR-BAND assists with achieving hemostasis. The access site is visible through the clear window and can be assessed without manipulation of the device. AIR-BAND delivers hands-free pressure that can be adjusted with a standard luer lock syringe.
