GLIDESHEATH SLENDER® Tibial Pedal Kit

GLIDESHEATH SLENDER® Tibial Pedal Kit

USE WITH CONFIDENCE

  • Only 0.021” wire on market and provides:
    greater rail strength to prevent buckling through 
    scarred or calcified arteries1

INCREASE EFFICIENCY

  • The Glidesheath Slender Tibial Pedal needle technology requires less penetration force compared to competitive needle1

REDUCE COMPLICATIONS

  • Designed to minimize mechanical irritation to the artery1


ADVANCE YOUR APPROACH TO TIBIAL PEDAL ACCESS

Expand your options for procedural success with the proprietary technology of GLIDESHEATH SLENDER, designed for tibial pedal access.
 

Leverage intricate engineering

GLIDESHEATH SLENDER pedal access kit offers a thin-wall sheath option for procedures requiring a 5 Fr sheath.1

Comparison of standard introducer sheath (2.29 mm outer diameter) and Glidesheath Slender (2.13 outer diameter)

Proprietary thin-wall technology

Proprietary thin-wall technology reduces the outside diameter of the introducer sheath by one Fr size while maintaining larger inner-diameter equivalent.

TERUMO Glide Technology™ hydrophilic coating enables easy insertion and removal.1

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


What French sheath sizes are appropriate for tibial-pedal access in endovascular procedures, and how do pedal access kits impact outcomes?

Tibial-pedal access is critical in endovascular treatment of critical limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), particularly when antegrade femoral access is limited. Given the small caliber of distal arteries (2–3 mm), 4 Fr and 5 Fr sheaths are most commonly used. 4 Fr sheaths are generally preferred due to their low outer diameter (~1.33 mm), which reduces the risk of arterial injury, spasm, and occlusion.1

Dedicated pedal access kits are designed to minimize trauma and improve procedural safety. Clinical studies, including the LIFE-BTK trial, support the use of low-profile access systems to improve technical success and reduce site-related complications.2
