Radial/femoral Sheath

Radial Sheath is the leader in vascular access and a pioneer, and its motive is to provide minimized patient stress and perfect transradial interventions. Maintained uncompromised hemostasis which is a result of cross-cut valve, minimizing vessel trauma with tapering dilator to each guidewire, easy catheter handling, minimized puncture site complications with internal tip diameter being equal to the guidewire external diameter.

What is a Sheath?

The usage of radial artery is to gain arterial access and facilitate the insertion of catheters or other equipment for diagnostic and vascular interventions. Finally, radial artery spasm is a risk, necessitating routine use of antispasmodic medications.

Typical arrangements include:

Introducer Sheaths

Guiding Sheaths

Delivery Sheaths

Steerable Sheaths

Being a pioneer and a leader in vascular access, Terumo’s intent is to provide a full shockproof solution for transradial interventions with devices that minimize patient stress and optimize transradial procedures.

What are the features of Radial Sheath?

Features:

Minimized vessel trauma is achieved by tapering dilator to each guidewire.

Uncompromised hemostasis is maintained by cross-cut valve to avoid bleeding and air aspiration

Easy catheter handling is a result of thin radiopaque sheath with anti-kinking sleeve

Snap-on/click-off dilator to prevent dilator back-out during insertion and allows one-hand unlocking

Puncture site complications are minimized because of equal micro puncture metallic entry needle and short bevel (22G / 21G / 20G) mini guidewire.
