The Merit Medical Prelude IDeal Hydrophilic Sheath Introducer (REF PID6F7018NTPD) is a transradial introducer sheath engineered to support efficient vascular access during coronary and peripheral interventional procedures. The Prelude IDeal platform combines a thin-walled sheath body with a hydrophilic coating to facilitate smooth insertion, reduce friction, and help minimize patient discomfort during radial artery access.

Key Features
Thin-wall sheath construction designed to minimize the outer-to-inner diameter ratio for radial access.
Hydrophilic coating along the sheath body intended to reduce insertion and withdrawal friction.
Integrated hemostasis valve to help limit blood loss and air ingress during device exchanges.
Tapered dilator for smooth transition over the guidewire and atraumatic vessel entry.
Side-port tubing with three-way stopcock for flushing and contrast or medication administration.
Kit-based configuration including sheath, dilator, guidewire, and access needle as supplied by the manufacturer.

Clinical Applications
Transradial coronary diagnostic and interventional procedures.
Peripheral vascular interventions where a hydrophilic introducer sheath is indicated.
Use as an access conduit for the introduction of catheters and interventional devices into the arterial system.
Procedures requiring a low-profile, smooth-tracking introducer to support patient comfort during access.
