Prelude IDeal™ Hydrophilic Sheath Introducer

Thinner. Stronger. IDeal™.

The Prelude IDeal™ Hydrophilic Sheath Introducers offer the advantages of an ultra-thin wall sheath combined with the support and strength required in a sheath to provide ease of catheter manipulation. The proprietary IDeal technology provides a robust sheath with increased resistance to kinking and compression. The low profile design and excellent transitions help facilitate smooth insertion into vessel. The hemostasis valve allows for easy wire and catheter manipulations while maintaining hemostasis.
