Core offering

Advanced Vascular Dynamics designs, manufactures, and markets non-invasive medical devices used in vascular access procedures to achieve post-procedure femoral and radial artery hemostasis. The portfolio includes mechanical compression systems (CompressAR, ClampEase, ExpressAR), radial compression devices (Zephyr, RadAR), vascular compression assist devices (ComfortPress, PressureMate), wrist and arm support accessories (mBrace, WristAssist, FlexBoard, Elevate Arm Board), a chitosan-based hemostatic pad (CELOX Vascular), and guidewire securement accessories (SuperClip). All products are FDA cleared and many are CE marked.

Product overview

Advanced Vascular Dynamics designs, manufactures, and markets an array of non-invasive medical devices for vascular access procedures. The portfolio includes radial hemostasis devices (Zephyr®, RadAR™), femoral hemostasis systems (CompressAR®, ClampEase, ExpressAR™, ComfortPress™, PressureMate™), radial access support products (mBrace™, WristAssist™, FlexBoard™, Elevate Arm Board™), hemostatic materials (CELOX Vascular™), and guidewire accessories (SuperClip™). The product line is organized around two core application areas: radial artery compression devices and femoral artery compression devices, supported by arm boards, wrist supports, and procedure accessories. All products are FDA cleared; many are CE marked. The company was founded in 1998 and is based in Tigard, OR, USA.

Products and services

• Zephyr® Vascular Compression Device Single or dual balloon compression device for post-catheterization radial artery hemostasis. Model 9100 features one adjustable balloon; Model 9200 features two balloons for simultaneous radial and ulnar compression to enhance antegrade blood flow and reduce radial artery occlusion. Intended for cardiac cath labs, interventional radiology, and critical care.
• RadAR™ Vascular Compression Device Sterile, single-use radial compression device that enables adjustable patent hemostasis to reduce chronic radial artery occlusion. Features excellent puncture site visibility and allows single-operator deployment. Used in cardiac cath labs and interventional settings.
• CELOX Vascular™ Hemostatic Pad Chitosan-based hemostatic pad that works independently of the body's normal clotting cascade to clot blood, even where normal clotting is inhibited. Used for local management of bleeding from vascular access sites, percutaneous catheters, or introducer sheaths up to 16 French.
• Elevate Radial Arm Board™ Procedure board for radial catheterization that positions the patient's arm flush with the mattress. Integrates with mBrace Model 4250 wrist support device for stable wrist positioning without tape or towels.
• mBrace™ Wrist Support Wrist support device that stabilizes the wrist at a consistent 40 degree angle during vascular access procedures. Available in three models: standard (4200), with hook for Elevate Arm Board integration (4250), and with syringe clip for patient transport (4275). Patented (US Pat. Nos. 8,652,080 and 10,267,350).
• CompressAR® System Mechanical compression system for femoral artery hemostasis following catheterization. Comprises a durable stand with rotating, locking shaft and sterile disposable discs in seven sizes/shapes. Compatible with Hill-Rom TotalCare and VersaCare beds via specific models. Used on over 15 million patients worldwide.
• ClampEase System Hands-free mechanical compression device for femoral artery hemostasis. Comprises a durable ClampEase Stand and sterile disposable discs in ball or taper tip attachment styles to accommodate varying patient anatomies.
• ExpressAR™ System Durable, reusable mobile compression device for post-catheterization femoral hemostasis. Uses a sterile disposable Disc and non-sterile Belt. Features patented V-Notch Disc design for enhanced visibility and puncture site access.
• ComfortPress™ Vascular Compression Assist Device Ergonomic, sterile, disposable external compression device for femoral artery hemostasis. Available in multiple sizes for varying hand sizes and patient anatomies. Studies show reduced hematoma formation vs. manual compression (Barnes-Jewish Hospital).
• PressureMate™ Vascular Compression Assist Device Manual compression assist device comprising a weighted non-sterile reusable handle with sterile disposable SuperComfort Disc. Designed to enhance practitioner and patient comfort during femoral artery compression.
• WristAssist™ Wrist Support Device Adjustable wrist support device that extends and stabilizes the wrist at a consistent 30 degree angle during radial artery vascular access procedures. Made with soft comfortable material and thick padding for patient comfort.
• FlexBoard™ Wrist Support Device Adjustable wrist support device that extends the patient's wrist at a user-defined angle for radial artery access. Can continue to be worn post-procedure to immobilize the hand and wrist during arterial line deployments.
• SuperClip™ Securement Clasp Guidewire and catheter securement device for interventional labs and surgical suites. Features unique Cath Channel design for wire advancement during deployment. Available in multiple colors for wire/catheter distinction. Patented (US Pat. No. 9,127,786).

Broad incumbents

• Terumo: Japanese global medical device company whose TR Band is the dominant radial artery compression device on the market. Directly comparable to AVD's Zephyr and RadAR products in radial hemostasis, and competes for the same cath-lab wallet share.
• Teleflex: Large diversified medical device company that acquired Vascular Solutions and offers radial and femoral hemostasis products (e.g., RadStat, compression devices). Direct competitive overlap with AVD's vascular access hemostasis portfolio across cath labs and interventional radiology.
• Abbott Vascular: Division of Abbott offering extensive interventional cardiology products including vascular access and closure solutions. Competes with AVD for cath-lab share with broader portfolio and substantially larger sales infrastructure.
• Medtronic: Global medical device leader with significant presence in interventional cardiology and vascular access. Indirectly competes with AVD through broader cath-lab solutions and hospital standardization contracts.
• ICU Medical: Medical device company specializing in vascular access, critical care, and infusion systems. Overlaps with AVD in the critical care vascular access segment and competes for hospital formulary positions.
• Stryker: Large medical device company that owns the QuikClot hemostatic product line, competing with AVD's CELOX Vascular pad. Stryker's broader surgical hemostasis franchise overlaps with AVD's hemostasis technology positioning.

Direct peers

• Merit Medical Systems: Specialty medical device company focused on interventional cardiology and radiology, offering a range of vascular access and hemostasis products. Directly comparable to AVD across both femoral and radial hemostasis categories with overlapping call points in cath and EP labs.
• Tricol Biomedical (HemCon): Specialty hemostatic products company offering chitosan-based hemostatic dressings similar to AVD's CELOX Vascular pad. Direct competitor in the chitosan hemostatic pad category used for vascular access site bleeding.
• TZ Medical: Specialty medical device company offering vascular access products including radial and femoral compression devices. Closely comparable to AVD as a niche vascular hemostasis specialist targeting cath and interventional labs.

Emerging players

• Marine Polymer Technologies: Developer of SyvekPatch, a poly-N-acetyl glucosamine hemostatic patch for vascular access site bleeding. Direct competitor to AVD's CELOX Vascular chitosan-based pad in the niche hemostatic pad market.
