Brief summary

The primary objective of this study is to determine if there is a reduction in time to hemostasis in subjects treated with SoftSeal®-STF hemostatic pad when used in conjunction with a vascular compression device after radial transcatheter procedure.

Detailed description

The SoftSeal-STF hemostatic pad and compression devices (TR BAND® and RadAR EasyCLik) function to stop bleeding without obstructing radial artery flow, and have been shown to reduce the occurrence of radial artery occlusion. The SoftSeal-STF hemostatic pad is an FDA-approved, chitosan-based, non-woven pad with a unique, proprietary fiber structure that when hydrated with tissue fluids forms a gel-like synthetic clot. Its mechanism of action is believed to be due to bioadhesion between the chitosan polymer chains, which are positively charged, and the negatively charged blood and tissue components, thereby stopping bleeding. In this study the RadAR EasyCLik and TR BAND® Compression devices will be used with the SoftSeal®-STF hemostatic pad to promote hemostasis at the puncture site. Both vascular compression devices are FDA approved. The VascBand™ Hemostat is an FDA-approved compression device designed to assist hemostasis of arterial, venous and hemodialysis percutaneous access sites.

ArmCount
SoftSeal®-STF Hemostatic
Hemostasis at the radial access site for subjects randomized to the SoftSeal®-STF hemostatic pad will be obtained by applying pressure at the point proximal and distal to the puncture site and removing the sheath. While still maintaining pressure, the SoftSeal®-STF hemostatic pad will be applied over the puncture site. The cath lab staff will allow a small amount of blood (\< 0.2 mL) to contact the surface of the hemostatic pad and then will apply constant pressure. SoftSeal®-STF hemostatic pad: Chitosan-based, non-woven pad with a unique, proprietary fiber structure that when hydrated with tissue fluids forms a gel-like synthetic clot
49
VascBand™ Hemostat
Hemostasis at the radial access for subjects randomized to the VascBand™ Hemostat will be obtained in accordance to the manufacturer's instructions. The VascBand™ device will be placed proximal to the puncture site and inflated slowly while simultaneously removing the sheath, and continue to inject air (max. 18 mL) into the device until hemostasis is obtained. VascBand™ Hemostat: The VascBand™ Hemostat is an FDA-approved compression device designed to assist hemostasis of arterial, venous and hemodialysis percutaneous access sites.
