The Merit Medical Prelude IDeal Hydrophilic Sheath Introducer (REF PID7F11018SC) is an arterial/venous introducer sheath engineered to deliver a larger inner lumen relative to its outer diameter, supporting smoother device exchanges during coronary and peripheral interventions. The hydrophilic coating on the sheath body is intended to reduce insertion force and friction during navigation through the access site.

Key Features
Thin-wall sheath construction designed to maximize inner diameter while minimizing outer profile.
Hydrophilic coating on the sheath body to facilitate smooth insertion and withdrawal.
Integrated hemostasis valve intended to limit blood loss and air ingress during device exchanges.
Side-arm tubing with stopcock for flushing, aspiration, and contrast or medication administration.
Tapered dilator and sheath transition for atraumatic vessel entry.
Radiopaque marker to support fluoroscopic visualization (refer to IFU for details).

Clinical Applications
Percutaneous introduction of diagnostic and interventional catheters and devices into the vascular system.
Use in radial, brachial, or femoral access procedures as determined by the treating physician.
Coronary and peripheral diagnostic and interventional workflows.
Procedures requiring smooth catheter exchange with reduced friction at the access site.
