Prelude Short Sheath Introducer | REF PSS-6F-4-038MT

The Merit Medical Prelude Short Sheath Introducer (REF PSS-6F-4-038MT) is a single-use vascular access introducer sheath engineered to facilitate the percutaneous introduction of diagnostic and interventional devices into the vasculature. The Prelude family is widely used by interventional cardiology and radiology teams seeking a smooth transition between dilator and sheath, a low-profile hub, and consistent hemostatic performance during short procedures.

Key Features
Nominal sheath size: 6F inner diameter for compatibility with a broad range of 6F catheters.
Working length: approximately 4 cm short configuration, intended for radial, brachial, or peripheral access where a short sheath is preferred.
Guidewire compatibility: accepts 0.038" guidewires as indicated by the model designation.
Integrated hemostatic valve designed to minimize blood loss and air ingress during device exchanges.
Side-arm tubing with three-way stopcock for flushing, aspiration, and contrast or medication delivery.
Tapered dilator engineered for a smooth sheath-to-dilator transition and atraumatic vessel entry.
Kink-resistant sheath body with lubricious inner lumen to support catheter tracking.

Clinical Applications
Percutaneous arterial or venous access for diagnostic angiography and interventional procedures.
Short-access scenarios such as transradial or peripheral approaches where a reduced sheath length is advantageous.
Delivery and exchange of guidewires, diagnostic catheters, and compatible interventional devices.
Use within hospital cath labs, interventional radiology suites, and ambulatory interventional settings by trained clinicians.
