The sheath is designed to maximize procedural outcomes, supporting transradial intervention every day. Characteristics Perform diagnostic and interventional procedures without upsizing to a larger sheath Provide easy radial access, especially in women with smaller radial arteries1, 2 Result in less penetration resistance than conventional sheaths2, 3 Ultra-thin wall leading to a 1 Fr reduction in outer diameter A smaller diameter sheath reduces the arteriotomy size, to enhance post-procedure haemostasis2 Easy insertion and removal with proprietary Terumo M Coat hydrophilic coating Designed towards minimizing mechanical irritation to the artery Clinical evidence Randomized Multicenter Trial DISCO Radial: DIStal Versus COventional Radial Access for Coronary Angiography and Intervention Item specifications This kit contains sheath, dilator, plastic or spring mini guidewire, plastic IV catheter (entry needle) or a metallic entry needle.
