With advanced hydrophilic coating for smooth insertion and durable stainless steel coiling for kink resistance—no matter your destination, stay on course with the Prelude Roadster.
Features & Benefits
The Prelude Roadster is designed with the patient and clinician in mind to help provide access to difficult anatomy in the peripheral vasculature. The Prelude Roadster has a high-quality hydrophilic coating that allows a smooth transition as well as stainless-steel coiling for kink resistance to help gain and maintain access. It provides excellent visibility with a marker band and radiopaque tip which will confirm the precise location of the sheath during diagnostic and interventional procedures.

Marker band and radiopaque tip confirm precise location, especially important during critical balloon inflation.
2 — Minimize Friction
A distal 35-cm length of hydrophilic coating eases entry into the vessel.
3 — Ergonomic Hub
Supports device torque and minimizes kinking.
4 — Patient Safety
A hemostasis valve helps to reduce the potential of patient blood loss.
5 — Strain Relief
Designed to help minimize kinking during insertion.
6 — Kink Resistance
A nylon outer layer with stainless steel coil and PTFE liner prevents kinking.
7 — Trackability
Seamless guide wire-to-dilator and dilator-to-sheath transitions facilitate tracking over the wire during placement.
