Thin-Wall, Larger Lumen – More Options for Your Patients
With its thin-wall technology, the Glidesheath Slender™ Introducer Sheath enables a 1 Fr reduction in outer diameter compared to standard introducer sheaths, while maintaining inner lumen size.
- Designed to minimise trauma to the radial artery and proven to have a lower penetration resistance than conventional radial introducers1,2,3
- Allows both diagnostic and interventional procedures without the need to upsize to a larger introducer sheath
- Facilitates radial access in patients with smaller radial artery diameters¹,⁴
- Smaller outer diameter reduces arteriotomy size, allowing for efficient post-procedure hemostasis

Mcoat™ Hydrophilic Coating: The Key to Easy Insertion and Removal of Glidesheath Slender™
Mcoat™ is Terumo’s proprietary hydrophilic coating technology designed for a consistently smooth and lubricious surface on the introducer sheath.
- Facilitates insertion and removal of the introducer sheath5
- Significantly reduces penetration resistance compared to conventional introducer sheaths1,6
- Minimizes friction between the vessel wall and radial introducer7
- Used in best-practice transradial protocols associated with lower rates of adverse events, including radial artery occlusion8–11
- Glidesheath Slender™ Introducer Sheath offers superior and durable lubricity performance over time12-14
