Introducer Sheath ( Femoral / Transradial )

An introducer sheath is a medical device used in vascular procedures, both femoral and transradial, to facilitate the insertion and passage of various instruments, such as catheters or guidewires, into blood vessels. It provides a smooth pathway, minimizing trauma to the vessel walls and reducing the risk of bleeding or complications during vascular access procedures.

PRODECT FEATURE :

1. Smooth transition of guidewire-to dilator and dilator-to sheath facilitates easy access.
2. Maintains uncompromised hemostasis.
3. Small outside diameter and large inside diameter reduces the size of the access site without compromising ease of device passage.

KIT CONTAINS :

A. Introducer Sheath ( Femoral / Transradial )
B. SS Guidewire
C. Introducer Needle
D. Dilator
E. Scalpel
F. Syringe with needle

Sterility: Ensure strict adherence to sterile procedures during handling and use.
Vascular Assessment: Perform careful vascular assessment and appropriate sizing to minimize complications.
Monitoring: Continuous monitoring during and after sheath placement to detect and manage complications promptly.
Patient Education: Provide patient education on post-procedure care and potential signs of complications.

Facilitates Access: Enables easier access to blood vessels for the introduction of diagnostic or therapeutic devices.
Minimizes Trauma: Reduces trauma to vessel walls during insertion and manipulation, enhancing patient comfort and safety.
Supports Device Passage: Provides a conduit for the passage of catheters, guidewires, or other devices into the vasculature.
Controls Bleeding: Helps control bleeding post-procedure, contributing to improved patient recovery.
Versatility: Available in various sizes and configurations to accommodate different procedural needs and patient anatomy.

Hemostatic Valve: Some sheaths include built-in hemostatic valves to minimize blood loss and air ingress.
Smooth Surface: Smooth inner surface reduces friction during device passage, maintaining vascular integrity.
Hub Design: Ergonomic hub design for secure attachment and manipulation during procedures.
Sterility: Packaged sterile to maintain aseptic conditions and minimize the risk of infection.
Disposable/Reusable: Available as disposable single-use devices or reusable models based on procedural requirements.

Material: Typically made from medical-grade materials such as polyethylene, Teflon, or polyurethane.
Size: Available in a range of diameters and lengths to suit different vascular access requirements.
Tip Configuration: Options include straight or tapered tips to facilitate smooth insertion and navigation through vessels.
Compatibility: Designed for compatibility with various procedural devices, including catheters and guidewires.
Radiopacity: Many sheaths are radiopaque for enhanced visibility under fluoroscopy during placement.

Applications:

Cardiac Catheterization: Used in coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI).
Peripheral Interventions: Facilitates access for procedures such as angioplasty, stenting, and embolization.
Hemodialysis: Essential for vascular access in hemodialysis procedures for patients with renal disease.
Diagnostic Imaging: Supports procedures in interventional radiology and vascular surgery.
