Ultrasound: Increase first-pass success rate of radial artery cannulation
featured_radial_radial_solutions_ultrasound_1200x740

Compared to palpation, ultrasound reduces the number of difficult procedures* with a significantly higher first-pass success rate.3
*Difficult procedures are defined as those requiring ≥5 attempts.

Hydrophilic Sheath: Reduce radial artery spasm with hydrophilic coated sheaths
featured_radial_radial_solutions_hydrophilic_sheath_1200x740

Radial artery spasm avoidance

Compared to uncoated sheaths, hydrophilic coated sheaths reduce the incidence of radial artery spasm which may lead to procedural disruption, patient discomfort and procedural failure.4

Sheath-to-Artery Ratio: Reduce the risk of radial artery occlusions (RAO) with the right-sized sheath
featured_radial_radial_solutions_sheath_to_artery_ratio_1200x740

Sheaths with an outer diameter that is not ≧1Fr of the inner diameter of the patient’s radial artery may cause distal flow reduction – and be a factor in radial artery occlusion.5
