What is an introducer sheath used for?
An introducer sheath is a medical device used during procedures that require access to blood vessels, such as catheterization or the placement of stents and pacemakers. It acts as a protective conduit, allowing instruments to be inserted into the vessel while minimizing trauma to the vessel wall. The sheath typically includes a dilator to ease insertion and a valve to prevent blood loss. Its use helps maintain a sterile field, improves procedural efficiency, and reduces complications like bleeding or vessel damage.
What is a vascular sheath?
A vascular sheath used in interventional surgery is a specialized medical device that provides secure and stable access to blood vessels during minimally invasive procedures. It acts as a conduit through which catheters, guidewires, and other instruments are introduced into the vascular system. These sheaths are designed with features like hemostatic valves to prevent blood loss, hydrophilic coatings for smoother insertion, and structural reinforcements to resist kinking. Vascular sheaths are essential in procedures such as angioplasty, stenting, and cardiac catheterization, enabling precise device delivery while minimizing trauma to the vessel wall and reducing the risk of complications like bleeding or thrombosis.
