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
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

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
