Patients who have had cardiac catheterization or coronary angioplasty often are required to stay in bed with restricted movement for three to 24 hours afterward to prevent bleeding from the femoral artery catheter insertion site.
Features and Benefits
Improved back up support in comparison to Terumo standard femoral guiding catheter shapes*1

Guide catheters are required for all coronary interventions to provide access to the coronary ostium and support equipment delivery. The ideal guide provides stability for device advancement through the coronary anatomy, while minimizing vessel trauma and allowing for vessel opacification.
The catheter is guided to the narrowed artery. Then, a smaller balloon catheter is inserted through the flexible catheter and inflated at the narrowed area to open it. Often, the doctor will also place a mesh coil called a stent at the narrowed part to help keep the artery open.

RADIFOCUS REDIAL SHEATH
Providing you the best range of Terumo Radifocus Radial Introducer Sheath and Cordis Femoral Introducer Sheath with effective & timely delivery.
The radial artery access sheath is used to gain arterial access and facilitate the insertion of catheters or other equipment for diagnostic and vascular interventions.
- The Cordis AVANTI®+ Introducer is the pioneer of catheter sheath introducer technology. Featuring a patented SLIX Valve, the AVANTI®+ introducer provides smooth transitions, monitoring capabilities and exceptional performance for your procedural success, as well as
- A hexacuspid design that provides a balance between catheter maneuverability and hemostasis.
- A rotating suture collar that facilitates procedural flexibility. It stays in place and allows patient movement.
- A kink-resistant cannula design integrating a soft, flexible inner layer with a stiffer outer layer designed to increase bendability and support, and decrease kinking.
- Atraumatic tip transitions for both the sheath and the vessel dilator are uniquely tapered and manicured. This results in smooth insertions and helps to minimize damage upon entry.
As part of the circulatory system, the radial artery supplies blood from the heart to the forearm.
Radial sheaths had the smallest OD (1 Fr smaller) when compared to similar sized conventional sheaths. For instance, the OD of 4 Fr radial sheath (1.610 ± 0.006 mm) is essentially the same as the OD of the conventional 3 Fr (1.644 ± 0.016 mm) and 3.3 Fr (1.635 ± 0.005 mm) sheaths.
