Advanced Vascular Dynamics, a Semler Technologies Company, makes and markets the CompressAR® System of mechanical compression, used to achieve hemostasis on patients following catheterization using the femoral approach. The CompressAR System was the first mechanical compression device ever to replace manual compression for post-catheterization femoral hemostasis. It remains the world leader in mechanical compression, having been successfully used for over 25 years on millions of patients worldwide in radiology labs, cardiac cath labs and intensive care nursing units.

Comprised of both durable and inexpensive disposable elements, the CompressAR System decreases blood contact and increases technician and nurse productivity. In addition, the CompressAR avoids muscle strain and disabilities caused by repeated use of the muscles required for manual compression. Because of its consistent application of compression, the CompressAR also increases patient comfort and avoids complications during the hemostasis period, providing outcomes as good or better than manual compression.
