A wrist device to help stop bleeding after a heart procedure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a device called SAPH that helps stop bleeding after a heart or blood vessel procedure done through the wrist. It may make recovery more comfortable and help you go home sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 21 or older
- You are scheduled for a heart or blood vessel procedure through the wrist using a small tube (catheter), and you'll go home the same day
- Your doctor will check that the blood flow in your wrist artery is good (a simple test called Reverse Barbeau)
- You must understand and sign a consent form, and be willing to follow the study rules
- You cannot have had a prior procedure using the same wrist
- You cannot have certain conditions like scleroderma, vasculitis, Raynaud's, or an allergy to medical tape

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how blood flow stops (bleeding control) at two different points in the wrist artery during a simulated procedure. It may help improve how bleeding is managed after heart catheterization.
This study tests a special sealant applied at the wrist to stop bleeding faster after a heart catheterization procedure. It may help reduce the time you need to wear a compression band and get you moving sooner.
This study tests two ways to control bleeding after a heart/blood-vessel procedure done through the wrist (or elbow) artery. It may help make the procedure safer and improve how well the artery is managed during healing.
This trial tests a device that helps close the puncture site in your leg after certain heart or blood vessel procedures. It aims to reduce bleeding and speed up recovery.
This study looks at a new surgical sponge and blood-recovery device during major heart or lung operations. It aims to improve how efficiently blood is recovered and returned, which may help during surgery.
This trial compares a new pressure-sensing sheath that monitors blood pressure during wrist-artery procedures to the traditional method. It aims to see if the new device works just as well or better, and is for patients who are already scheduled for a planned (not emergency) procedure needing continuous blood pressure monitoring.
