1. A method of obtaining patent hemostasis of a radial artery of a patient after performing a catheterization procedure using a sheath to access the radial artery wherein the sheath is inserted into the radial artery at an access site, comprising performing the following steps in sequence:

  • (i) applying hemostatic pressure to the radial artery while simultaneously increasing radial artery flow by applying an ulnar pressure to an ulnar artery at an ulnar pressure site;

    (ii) maintaining continued partial compression of the ulnar artery, thereby maintaining an increased flow of blood inside the radial artery, at least until hemostasis of the radial artery is achieved.
