Introducer sheath refers to a thin-walled tubular sheath composed of a dilation tube, a sheath tube, and a hemostatic valve. Usually made of polytetrafluoroethylene.

The Introducer sheath is a medical device used to facilitate the insertion of various medical instruments into the body. It is essentially a small tube that is placed over the instrument, and then inserted into the body cavity. The Introducer sheath can be used for a variety of procedures, including biopsies, diagnostic imaging, and even surgery.

What is the Introducer sheath?

An Introducer sheath is a medical device that is inserted into a patient's vein to allow access for various procedures. The Introducer sheath is made up of a thin, flexible tube that has a lumen (opening) running through its center. This lumen allows for the passage of medical instruments and fluids. Introducer sheaths are typically placed in the veins of the arm or leg, but can also be placed in other veins throughout the body.

The Introducer sheath functions as a conduit for medical instruments and fluids. It provides a pathway into the patient's body that is safe and easy to access. Once the Introducer sheath is in place, various procedures can be performed, such as taking blood samples or placing intravenous (IV) catheters. Introducer sheaths are also used to administer medications and fluids through IV catheters.

Introducer sheaths are typically removed once the procedure is completed. The Sheath is then discarded. In some cases, the Introducer sheath may be left in place if it needs to be used for future procedures.


How does the Introducer sheath work?

The Introducer sheath is a medical device that is used to facilitate the insertion of a catheter or other medical device into the body. It is a thin, hollow tube that is inserted into the body through a small incision in the skin. The Introducer sheath has a proximal end (near the incision) and a distal end (near the patient's body). The distal end of the Introducer sheath has a lumen, or opening, through which the catheter or other medical device can be inserted. The proximal end of the Introducer sheath has an inflation port, which is used to inflate the balloon on the tip of the catheter or other medical device. The Introducer sheath also has a side port, which can be used to flush fluids into the lumen of the Introducer sheath or to withdraw blood from the lumen for diagnostic purposes.


What are the benefits of the Introducer sheath?

There are many benefits to the Introducer sheath. The Introducer sheath provides a sterile environment for the insertion of catheters and other medical devices. It also allows for the quick and easy removal of these devices when necessary. Additionally, the Introducer sheath can help to prevent infection by providing a barrier between the patient and the outside world.
