Glidesheath Slender®

Introducer

Description

Expanding transradial access to include more patients

Glidesheath Slender offers the smallest option for procedures requiring 5, 6 and 7 Fr sheaths.¹ The proprietary thin-wall technology reduces the outside diameter of the introducer sheath by 1 Fr while maintaining a larger inner-diameter equivalent. The sheath is designed to maximize procedural outcomes, supporting transradial intervention every day.

Characteristics

Perform diagnostic and interventional procedures without upsizing to a larger sheath
Provide easy radial access, especially in women with smaller radial arteries^{1, 2}
Result in less penetration resistance than conventional sheaths^{2, 3}
Ultra-thin wall leading to a 1 Fr reduction in outer diameter
A smaller diameter sheath reduces the arteriotomy size, to enhance post-procedure haemostasis²
Easy insertion and removal with proprietary Terumo M Coat hydrophilic coating
Designed towards minimizing mechanical irritation to the artery

Item specifications

This kit contains sheath, dilator, plastic or spring mini guidewire, plastic IV catheter (entry needle) or a metallic entry needle.
