The Merit Medical Prelude Sheath Introducer (REF PSI-8F-23-038) is a single-use percutaneous introducer sheath developed to provide reliable arterial or venous access during diagnostic and interventional procedures. Engineered with a smooth dilator-to-sheath transition, it is designed to ease vessel entry while supporting the smooth exchange of guidewires and catheters in the cardiac catheterisation lab.

Key Features
- 8F inner diameter sheath configuration suitable for a broad range of interventional catheters.
- Radiopaque sheath material for enhanced fluoroscopic visibility.
- Tapered dilator providing a smooth transition to reduce vessel trauma during insertion.
- Integrated haemostasis valve engineered to minimise blood loss and air ingress during device exchanges.
- Side-port tubing with three-way stopcock to facilitate flushing, aspiration and pressure monitoring.
- Kink-resistant construction supporting catheter trackability and torque response.

Clinical Applications
- Percutaneous introduction of intravascular catheters for diagnostic angiography.
- Coronary and peripheral interventional procedures requiring stable vascular access.
- Guidewire and catheter exchanges in the cardiac catheterisation laboratory.
- Procedures where reliable haemostasis and fluoroscopic visualisation of the access sheath are required.
