Encapsulating-tissue dilation sheath

Definition

A sterile, hand-held, manual surgical instrument designed for the percutaneous dilation of tissue surrounding a device or object that has been previously placed or found within a patient's body (e.g., cardiac leads, indwelling catheter, foreign object). It is a single-lumen, catheter-like device (a sheath) with a long, slender, tubular body; its narrow distal tip typically includes radiopaque markers to enable fluoroscopic identification of tip location and orientation. It is typically made of stainless steel and is available in various lengths and diameters. It may also be used for the introduction and support of intravascular catheters. This is a single-use device.
