The Puncture Needle incorporates a lumen, which provides a conduit for the insertion of the Guide Wire into the vascular system. The flexible stainless-steel guide wire is utilized as a guiding mechanism for the insertion of the Introducer Sheath into the vascular system. The Guide Wire contains a wire collimator, which assists in funneling the wire through the lumen of the Puncture Needle. The Guide Wire is radio-detective under fluoroscopy. The Sheath Introducer contains Barium sulfate (BaSO4), making the device visible under fluoroscopy and provides a conduit for introducing other interventional devices, including guide wires and interventional catheters, into the vascular system. The main components of this assembly are a non-hydrophilic coated Sheath Introducer, hemostasis valve housing, and a side port tubing with a 3-way stopcock/valve. The Dilator is used to provide support and stability to the Sheath Introducer during deployment into the vascular system. The proximal end of the Dilator includes a luer port and has a tapered, atraumatic distal tip. There is no radiocontrast agent on the dilator.
A collection of sterile, nonimplantable, invasive devices intended to provide percutaneous vascular access to enable introduction of a catheter (not included) into the vascular system. It includes a non-steerable introducer sheath with an inner obturator/dilator, and typically an additional access device(s) [e.g., guidewire, introducer needle, syringe, additional dilators] which may include a haemostatic valve to control blood loss, usually to enable arterial access. This is a single-use device.
