VSI Micro-Introducer Kits are intended for use in percutaneous introduction of up to a 0.018 inch or 0.038 inch guidewire or catheter into the vascular system following a small gauge needle stick.
A collection of 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/or a vascular catheter introduction needle (e.g., arterial needle), and typically an additional access device(s) [e.g., guidewire, syringe, additional dilators] which may include a haemostatic valve to control blood loss, usually for arterial access; some sets include in addition noninvasive supportive devices (e.g., drapes, dressings). This is a single-use device.
