Introducer Sheath

An introducer sheath can be used to introduce catheters or other devices to perform endoluminal (inside the hollow organ) procedures, such as angioplasty. Fluoroscopy may be used to confirm the position of the catheter and to manoeuvre it to the desired location. Injection of radiocontrast may be used to visualise organs. Interventional procedures, such as thermoablation, angioplasty, embolization or biopsy, may be performed.
