PRODUCT INFORMATION

North American Rescue — IV Access

BOA I.V. Constricting Band

A single-use venous constriction band that uses a rolling compression mechanism — engorging distal veins while arterial inflow continues — to raise a visible, palpable target in difficult-access patients. Quick-Click on, two-finger Quick-Release off.

Rolling compressionQuick-Click / Quick-ReleaseStandard & XLSingle-use

In hemorrhagic shock, veins collapse from hypovolemia and a flat tourniquet-style band can't raise a usable target — and uniform flat pressure can compress the artery along with the vein, defeating the purpose.

What raises a vein when a flat band can't?

The BOA's rolling compression mechanism rolls venous blood distally into the limb, engorging the peripheral veins while arterial inflow continues — raising a visible, palpable target even in low-volume patients. Originally developed for the Armed Forces, it's built for the hard sticks: Class III–IV hemorrhage, sclerotic or fragile diabetic veins, larger body types (BOA XL), and difficult pediatric or elderly access. A Quick-Click connector applies one-handed; a two-finger Quick-Release frees both hands the moment the catheter is in.

Why the BOA

Rolling Compression

Rolls venous blood distally to engorge peripheral veins while arterial inflow continues.

Built for Hard Sticks

Raises a target in hypovolemic, sclerotic, large, pediatric, or elderly veins a flat band misses.

Quick-Click / Quick-Release

One-handed application; two-finger release frees both hands for cannulation.

Standard & XL

Standard fits up to 18″; XL stretches ~50% longer to 27″ for larger or edematous limbs.

Standard vs. XL

Standard BOA	7.5″–18″; White; typical adult upper extremity
BOA XL	10″–27″; White w/ Red stripe; larger or edematous limbs, upper-arm access
Key Difference	XL stretches ~50% longer; red-stripe visual differentiation

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How is the BOA® different from a standard rubber IV tourniquet?

Standard rubber IV bands apply flat compressive pressure that can compress both veins and arteries indiscriminately. The BOA® uses a rolling compression mechanism that specifically engorges peripheral veins by transfusing venous blood distally while arterial flow continues. This creates a more prominent, palpable venous target — particularly valuable in hypovolemic, obese, or diabetic patients where standard bands fail.

When should I use the Standard BOA vs. the XL version?

Use the Standard BOA® for typical adult arm circumferences up to 18 inches. The XL version stretches approximately 50% longer (up to 27 inches) and is designed for larger body types, edematous extremities, or patients where upper-arm placement is required. The XL is visually differentiated by a white/red stripe design.

Is the BOA® intended for IV access only, or can it serve as a tourniquet?

The BOA® is designed specifically for IV access (venous constriction) and is NOT a hemorrhage-control tourniquet. It maintains arterial flow by design. For life-threatening extremity hemorrhage control, a CoTCCC-recommended windlass tourniquet such as the CAT Gen 7 or SAM XT is required. The BOA occupies a different clinical role in the resuscitation sequence.

Can the BOA® be used in diabetic wound care situations?

Yes. North American Rescue specifically highlights diabetic wound care as a challenging use case where the BOA® provides value. Diabetic patients frequently have sclerotic, fragile, or difficult-to-visualize veins. The BOA's rolling venous distension mechanism helps locate and engorge peripheral veins that standard bands cannot adequately distend.

Is the BOA® single-use?

Yes. The BOA® Constricting Band is a single-use, disposable device packaged individually in rugged, vacuum-sealed packaging for sanitation and quick access. It should not be reused between patients or after deployment. The vacuum-sealed packaging maintains sterility and device integrity until use.
