The Merit Medical Prelude Marker Tip Sheath Introducer (REF PSI-5F-23-038MT) is a single-use percutaneous introducer sheath engineered to provide reliable vascular access for diagnostic and interventional catheter-based procedures. The sheath features a radiopaque marker at the distal tip to support fluoroscopic visualization of tip position during placement and manipulation, helping clinicians confirm sheath location relative to anatomical landmarks.

Key Features
Radiopaque distal marker tip for enhanced fluoroscopic visualization
5F inner diameter sized to accommodate compatible diagnostic and interventional catheters
Integrated hemostasis valve designed to minimize blood loss and air ingress during catheter exchanges
Side-port extension tubing with stopcock for flushing and contrast or medication administration
Tapered dilator designed for smooth tissue transition and atraumatic vessel entry
Supplied with a compatible guidewire as part of the introducer set (confirm configuration with manufacturer)
Sterile, single-use packaging to support aseptic technique

Clinical Applications
Percutaneous introduction of diagnostic and interventional catheters into the vasculature
Procedures where fluoroscopic confirmation of sheath tip position is advantageous
Catheter exchanges requiring a stable vascular access conduit with hemostasis control
Use across a range of peripheral and coronary access workflows as determined by the operator
