Advanced Material for Optimal PerformanceEngineered from PTFE and polyurethane, this introducer sheath provides excellent kink resistance, flexibility, and superior biocompatibility. The smooth surface and atraumatic tip facilitate gentle insertion, minimizing vascular trauma and enhancing patient comfort during vascular access procedures.
Enhanced Safety and FunctionalityThe sheath is designed with a secure hemostatic valve and side arm, allowing hassle-free flushing and aspiration. The echogenic introducer needle improves visualisation under ultrasound guidance, making the vessel puncture process safer and more efficient for healthcare professionals.
Reliable Identification and SterilityQuickly identify the correct sheath size with its color-coded hub. Each sheath is individually packed, EO sterilized, and latex-free, ensuring minimal risks of infection or allergic reactions while maintaining stringent regulatory standards, including CE marking.
FAQ's of Introducer Sheath:
Q: How is the introducer sheath used during catheterization procedures?
A: The introducer sheath is inserted percutaneously into a blood vessel to provide a stable channel for the introduction and guidance of catheters and other interventional devices. The supplied echogenic needle aids in accurate vessel access, and the sheath maintains hemostasis while facilitating device exchange.
Q: What guidewire compatibility does this introducer sheath offer?
A: This introducer sheath is compatible with standard guidewires, allowing flexible use across various catheterization and interventional procedures without the need for specialized wires.
Q: When should the optional heparin coating be requested?
A: The optional heparin coating is beneficial when extended anticoagulation at the access site is desired, such as in cases with higher thrombotic risk. It can be requested during the procurement process to match specific clinical requirements.
Q: Where can the introducer sheath be used in clinical practice?
A: The introducer sheath is suitable for use in cardiology and interventional radiology departments, specifically during angiographic, diagnostic, and therapeutic vascular procedures requiring catheter access and introduction.
Q: What are the main benefits of the color-coded hub and radiopaque marker?
A: The color-coded hub facilitates immediate size identification, streamlining workflow and reducing selection errors. The integrated radiopaque marker enhances the sheath's visibility under imaging, ensuring accurate placement and increasing procedural safety.
Q: How does the sheath's enhanced puncture resistivity benefit vascular access?
A: Enhanced puncture resistivity ensures that the sheath maintains integrity during insertion, reducing the risk of kinking or damage. This contributes to smoother, safer vascular access, particularly in challenging anatomical scenarios.
Q: What regulatory and safety assurances come with this introducer sheath?
A: Each sheath is CE marked, ensuring compliance with rigorous safety and quality standards. It is individually EO sterilized, latex-free, and comes with a three-year expiry from the date of manufacturing for optimal reliability.
