A small pilot trial comparing a kaolin-based haemostatic pad (QuikClot Radial) with mechanical compression (TR Band) after trans-radial access, demonstrated that haemostasis times were significantly shorter with the QuikClot Radial pad, with no increase in complications noted. Potential benefits include less Radial Artery Occlusion (RAO), improved patient comfort, and less resource utilisation post procedure. This study comes before a larger, adequately powered trial, which i
