The Merit Medical Prelude Marker Tip Sheath Introducer (REF PSI-8F-23-038MT) is a percutaneous vascular access introducer designed to facilitate the placement of catheters and interventional devices. The integrated radiopaque marker tip provides clear fluoroscopic visualization of the distal sheath position, supporting accurate device deployment during diagnostic and interventional vascular procedures.

Key Features
Radiopaque marker tip for enhanced fluoroscopic visualization of the distal end
8F inner diameter compatible with a wide range of interventional devices
Hydrophilic coating option to reduce insertion friction (refer to manufacturer IFU for confirmation)
Integrated hemostasis valve to minimize blood loss and air ingress during device exchange
Side-port tubing with three-way stopcock for flushing, aspiration, and contrast injection
Tapered dilator designed to support smooth vessel entry over a 0.038" guidewire
Kink-resistant sheath body engineered for trackability and torque transmission

Clinical Applications
Percutaneous introduction of diagnostic and interventional catheters into the vascular system
Coronary and peripheral interventional access requiring marker tip visualization
Procedures benefiting from precise sheath tip localization under fluoroscopy
General-purpose vascular access in the cardiac catheterization laboratory and interventional suites
