Vascular access sheath

steerable

Description
Braided introducer sheath designed to establish a stable working channel for a variety of minimally invasive cardiovascular and endovascular procedures. The stainless-steel braided reinforcement improves kink resistance, column strength, pushability and 1:1 torque transmission for precise device delivery.

Application

• Angiography catheters
• Electrophysiology catheters
• Delivery systems for stents and occluders
• PTA/PTCA guiding catheters
• Steering mechanism assemblies
• High-pressure injection lines
• Kink-resistant introducer sheaths for tortuous anatomy

Features

• Stainless-steel braid reinforcement for outstanding kink resistance in complex anatomies
• High column strength suitable for stent delivery systems and occluders
• Ultra-smooth liner to facilitate instrument passage and reduce friction
• 1:1 torque response between proximal and distal ends for precise steerability
• Radiopaque band marker to assist accurate sheath-tip placement under X-ray
