Tr Band Removal Guidelines. Through the transparent structure designed for visual control and selective compression of the radial artery to allow blood return and preserve patency TR Band assists in maintaining radial artery patency at the time of haemostasis in order to prevent future radial artery occlusion 12. If bleeding occurred the TR-Band was immediately re-inflated with 2-3mL of air and the weaning protocol was restarted 15min later. It was at this point that he realized the need.
