Laboratory tests show that inserting the Pinnacle TIF Tip requires up to 24% less
force* than competitor sheaths.

  • Performs well in simulated difficult access sites and tissue
  • Retains smooth transitions from guidewire-to-dilator and from dilator-to-sheath
  • May aid in the reduction of vessel damage and trauma at the access site that can lead to major complications


Seamless dilator-to-sheath transition for superior vascular access



New Premium Pinnacle TIF Tip
  • Transition from guidewire-to-dilator and dilator-to sheath is extremely smooth
  • Bends and flexes without gapping or kinking
  • Minimizes the possibility of damaging tissue upon sheath entry, advancement or removal. May lead to smoother, easier vascular access even through difficult access sites


Competitor Sheaths
  • Other competitor sheaths can form a gap between the sheath and dilator
  • Sharp edge can catch on tissue or damage artery walls

Less penetration force means better sheath integrity



Pinnacle TIF Tip provides access to vessel with less pressure, retaining a smooth dilator-to-sheath transition with no deformation.*



Competitor sheaths may buckle or "accordion" due to force needed for insertion as illustrated here during bench top testing.*


Excellent flexibility for maximum kink resistance



Pinnacle TIF Tip flexes beyond 45-degree angle without kinking or collapsing.*



Competitor's sheath kinked at 45-degree angle during bench top testing.*


Pinnacle TIF Tip is less likely to deform, resulting in easier, safer insertion



Pinnacle TIF Tip sheath advances over dilator with no gaps or crimps.*†



Competitor sheaths can deform during insertion, forming a sharp crimp*†
