The TQ-02 is Shanghai INT Medical Instruments' vascular haemostasis bandage for access sites that a team reaches for once the usual ones are gone. A 28.5 by 16 mm cushion pad is mounted on a 240 by 40 mm adhesive band, and the published sites are the dorsal pedal artery and the brachial artery and vein. Three function statements appear against the product family, in the manufacturer's own words: simple operation with sufficient compression force for effective haemostasis; suitability for multiple scenarios with significantly reduced haemostatic care workload; and minimised complications with improved patient satisfaction. None carries a figure.

Length distinguishes this reference and what the buyer pays for. At 240 mm, the band passes around a midfoot or upper arm and adheres to skin well clear of the puncture, seating the pad on a curved, mobile surface. The sites named belong to a recognisable patient group: people whose forearm veins are exhausted after long-term dialysis or chemotherapy, people with peripheral vascular disease, and critical care patients carrying several lines. Access moves to the foot and upper arm because nothing better remains.

As a result, this reference lands on higher-risk sites and less robust tissue, and the sheet answers neither question that follows. Compression force is unpublished, so the pressure at an arterial puncture is unknown and varies with how hard the band is stretched. Adhesive chemistry is unpublished, so its behaviour on oedematous or poorly perfused skin is unknown. Both need a written answer first.

Sterility, pad composition, backing material and latex status are all unstated. Medigear.uk lists the TQ-02 for UK business buyers. Request the declaration of conformity, the sterility statement, the compression figure with its test method, the adhesive specification and the case quantity from the seller before ordering.

The TQ-02 belongs to the second half of the access conversation. Dorsal pedal and brachial punctures are not first choices, and the services that perform them regularly work with patients whose upper-limb veins have been used up: long-term haemodialysis, oncology day units running repeated cannulation, vascular services, and critical care where several lines are already in place. Renal and vascular teams meet those patients more often than a general ward does, and they are the natural buyers here.

Anatomy is what the length answers. An instep is a curved, bony surface with tendons running across it, and an upper arm is a soft cylinder attached to a moving joint. Neither holds a short flat dressing the way a forearm does. A 240 mm band passes right around the part and brings its ends onto skin away from the puncture, so the pad stays seated when the limb does not stay still.

The same anatomy raises the questions the sheet leaves open. An encircling band can compress a whole limb rather than a single point if it is applied under tension, and the sheet gives no tension, no pressure and no instruction to check circulation beyond the site. Any local protocol built around this reference will need a check interval and a distal observation instruction written into it before first use.

Buying runs through the usual routes. NHS Supply Chain, trust framework agreements, Integrated Care Boards and independent providers each apply their own standing financial instructions. Pack quantities of 100 and 800 pieces suit a specialist unit rather than a hospital-wide stock line, which matches where these sites are actually used.

The manufacturer issues the conformity documentation required for those procurement routes, and the seller provides it.

Length that suits a curved or mobile limb

At 240 mm, the band encircles a midfoot or an upper arm and anchors its adhesive to skin clear of the puncture. On a surface that curves and a limb that moves, that seating is what keeps a pad where it was placed, and it is the whole reason this reference exists.

The dressing holds the site, not a person.

A self-retaining pressure dressing releases the operator at the moment it is applied, turning several minutes of one-to-one held pressure into a few seconds of placement. In a renal or critical care setting where staffing is the binding constraint, that is the argument the manufacturer is making, and it is a real one.

Sized for the patients whose access has run out

The published sites correspond to a recognisable clinical group rather than to general ward use. A product whose form factor matches the anatomy of difficult access is easier to justify to a specialist unit than a general-purpose item bought in hope.

Pad geometry does not drift.

A pad of fixed area in a fixed position applies its force the same way whoever places it. Hand pressure varies with the operator and with how busy the unit is. The force is unpublished, so this is consistency rather than sufficiency, but the geometry holds across a shift.

Nothing powered, nothing to test

No current, no cell, no electronic component. The device sits outside portable appliance testing, and outside every electrical safety scheme the provider runs, and outside the electronic waste regulations by construction rather than exception.

One waste route

The used dressing is blood-contaminated and goes to the healthcare waste stream whole. Nothing separates, nothing needs segregation, and no second disposal contract is involved.

Pack quantities matched to specialist volume.

Box counts of 100 and 800 pieces are published on the sheet. Those are quantities a renal unit or a vascular service can hold without tying up shelf space or reaching an expiry date, and both figures are available before a quotation arrives.

An identifiable manufacturer

Shanghai INT Medical Instruments publishes a corporate structure, named subsidiaries and investor documentation on its own domain. A traceable legal manufacturer is the starting point for the UK Responsible Person chain and for any vigilance reporting that follows.

The open questions are all factual.

Compression figure, extensibility, pad material, adhesive chemistry, sterilisation method, box dimensions. Every one is something the manufacturer already holds, and none requires testing or negotiation. One written request should close the set, and the answer that comes back says something useful about the supplier.

Cushion pad on a 240 mm adhesive band

The published construction is a 28.5 by 16 mm cushion pad mounted on a 240 by 40 mm adhesive band, long enough to encircle a midfoot or an upper arm.

Published band dimensions

The band is stated as 24 by 4 cm. No thickness, backing material, extensibility figure or peel strength is published.

Published pad area

The pad area is stated as 2.85 by 1.6 cm. No pad thickness, material, density, or absorbency figure is provided.

Published application sites

The manufacturer lists the dorsal pedal artery and the brachial artery and vein. The list ends with an abbreviation indicating that it is not exhaustive, so any further site should be confirmed rather than assumed.

Wholly mechanical operation

No battery, circuit or powered element of any kind. Compression comes from the adhesive holding the pad against the site, and nothing requires a power source or a charge state.

Published function statements

Three statements appear against the family, covering compression sufficiency, workload reduction and complication rates. None carries a figure, a test method or a supporting reference.

Published pack quantities

Two box counts are stated, at 100 pieces per medium box and 800 per large box. No box dimensions, packed volume or shipped mass appears alongside them.

Compression force not published.

The property the device is sold on carries no number. No force, applied pressure, test method or assumed application tension appears anywhere in the available literature, which on an encircling band is a wider gap than on a flat one.

Extensibility not published

No stretch, recovery or permanent set figure is published. The revised EN 13726 series includes an extensibility method for wound dressings, and no result under it appears in the literature.

Sterility not published

No sterility statement, sterilisation method, validation standard, packaging standard or shelf life appears for a device whose pad contacts a fresh percutaneous puncture.

Materials not published

Backing material, adhesive chemistry, pad composition, latex status, phthalate status and biocompatibility evidence are all absent. Whether the pad contains any active haemostatic agent is not stated.

Dwell time and distal observation are not published.

No wear time, check interval, removal protocol or instruction to observe circulation beyond the site appears. On a band that encircles a limb, all four have to be supplied locally.

Colour and finish

The product render shows a tan non-woven backing with a white pad. No colour block or finish option appears in the written configuration, so confirm the supplied appearance at order.

Manufacturer instructions for use

Shanghai INT Medical Instruments maintains a download area for instructions for use on its product pages. No document for this reference was published there at the time of writing, so request the instructions directly from the seller.

The TQ-02 is a 240 mm pressure dressing built for the access sites a team turns to when the straightforward ones have gone, and the length is a genuine answer to a real anatomical problem on an instep or an upper arm. It also means the reference lands most often on arterial sites and on the least robust skin, which is exactly where uncompressed force and reliable adhesion matter most. The pack quantities suit a specialist unit and the questions are all answerable in one email. Medigear.uk lists the TQ-02 for UK business buyers and can arrange delivery, installation, commissioning, familiarisation and service cover. Request the declaration of conformity, the sterility statement, the compression figure with its test method and the case quantity from the seller in the quotation.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything buyers need to know about sourcing medical equipment through MediGear.

Reach around a limb rather than reach across a site. A band this long can encircle a midfoot or upper arm and bring its adhesive ends onto skin some distance from the puncture, giving the pad a stable seat on a curved surface and on a moving limb. Flat strips work well on a flat forearm and less well on an instep. The trade-off is that a band which encircles a limb can compress more than the puncture if it is pulled tight, and the sheet provides no application tension, so the technique has to be defined locally.

The consequences of getting compression wrong differ between a vein and an artery, and the sheet lists both in a single column without distinguishing them. Under-compression at an arterial puncture risks continued bleeding and haematoma formation. Over-compression risks occluding flow to tissue beyond the site, which matters more at the dorsal pedal artery in a patient with poor peripheral perfusion than it would in a healthy limb. Neither risk can be managed from a datasheet that gives no pressure, no dwell time and no observation interval. Treat the arterial sites as requiring specific local protocol and clinical sign-off.

Nothing published says. The brachial site sits close to the elbow, and a dressing spanning a joint is subject to repeated flexion, shear and adhesive lift every time the patient moves the arm. The literature provides no extensibility figure, peel strength, or conformability data, and the revised EN 13726 series includes an extensibility method that would answer this if it had been run. Ask the seller for extensibility results and for guidance on whether the elbow should be immobilised while the dressing is in place.

Not stated. The pad contacts a fresh percutaneous puncture, so sterility of the wound-contact face is a reasonable expectation rather than an extra, and it is normal for this product type. Normal is not declared. Request the sterilisation method, the validation standard, the packaging standard used for terminally sterilised devices, the shelf life and the expiry format, and check that whatever comes back is also printed on the label.

No figure exists in the literature. The lead claim is that the device provides sufficient compression force for effective haemostasis, with no force in newtons, no pressure in millimetres of mercury, no test method and no stated tension at which the band should be applied on an encircling band that variable matters even more than it does on a flat strip, because the same product applied by two people can deliver very different pressures around a limb. Ask for a compression figure, the method behind it, and the application tension it assumes.

The sheet calls it a cushion pad and describes the mechanism as compression, which points to a passive pad, but it never says so and names no pad material. An active agent such as chitosan or kaolin would place the product in a different regulatory position and would bring its own contraindications and shelf-life behaviour. Get a written answer on pad composition before the product goes anywhere near a formulary.

Unknown on both counts, and the question has more weight here than the sheet suggests. No adhesive chemistry, peel strength, removal guidance, latex statement or phthalate statement is published. The patients whose access has migrated to the foot and the upper arm are frequently the same patients with oedema, thin skin, long-term steroid exposure or anticoagulation, and adhesive removal in that group carries a recognised risk of skin stripping. Request the adhesive specification, a latex-free statement, and removal instructions.

A dressing acting as a mechanical barrier over injured skin, applying compression and absorbing a small volume of blood is typically Class I under UK MDR 2002, or Class I sterile where supplied sterile — or higher, use-dependent, confirmed against the declaration of conformity at order. The practical consequence is easy to miss. A plain Class I device is self-declared by the manufacturer with no third party involved at all, so the declaration of conformity is a manufacturer statement and nothing more. Where the device is supplied sterile, a notified body or approved body is involved for the sterility aspect alone, and a numbered certificate exists for that part. Establish which route applies, and read a self-declared route as a reason for closer diligence.

CE-marked devices remain accepted in Great Britain under transitional arrangements, currently to 30 June 2028 for devices certified under the earlier EU directive and to 30 June 2030 for devices certified under the EU Medical Device Regulation. The MHRA consulted during 2026 on recognising CE marking indefinitely, then confirmed that those routes would not carry into the pre-market legislation expected that year, so both dates stand. A manufacturer established outside the UK must appoint a UK Responsible Person, and the device must be registered with the MHRA before it is placed on the market. Ask the seller to name the UK Responsible Person and supply the MHRA registration reference.

The literature gives no dwell time, observation interval, or removal protocol, which is a larger gap on an encircling band than on a flat dressing. A band around a limb left in place too long has a mechanism for harm that a flat strip does not, and any local guidance written around this product needs a stated check interval, a stated removal point, and documented instructions on what to observe distal to the site. None of that can be drawn from the sheet. Request the instructions for use and build the protocol from them.

Any service that cannot obtain a sterility statement and a compression figure in writing is not ready to order it. A service intending to use it at arterial sites without first writing a local protocol covering application tension, check interval and distal observation should not proceed on the strength of this datasheet. Teams working with patients who have significant peripheral vascular disease need the compression question answered before, rather than after, a case arrives. For a venous site on a reasonably robust limb, where a longer band seats better than a short one, it is an ordinary consumable choice.

Send it as a single list. It covers the declaration of conformity and whether the route is self-declared, the sterility method and shelf life, the compression force with its test method and assumed application tension, extensibility and peel strength, pad composition and whether any active agent is present, adhesive chemistry with latex and phthalate statements, biocompatibility evidence, the instructions for use with dwell time and distal observation guidance, box dimensions and shipped mass, the UK Responsible Person and MHRA registration, and banded pricing against annual volume.
