The Merit Medical Prelude SNAP Splittable Sheath Introducer (REF PLS-1006) is a peel-away introducer sheath engineered to provide reliable vascular access and to facilitate the delivery of interventional devices that are larger than the sheath hub. Its splittable design allows the sheath to be removed while a catheter, lead or device remains in position, supporting efficient workflow during coronary, radial and peripheral procedures.

Key Features
Splittable (SNAP) hub and shaft for controlled peel-away removal
Smooth sheath-to-dilator transition intended to reduce vessel trauma at insertion
Hydrophilic-compatible surface characteristics for atraumatic tracking (refer to IFU for specific coating details)
Integrated hemostasis valve to help minimize blood loss and air ingress
Side-arm tubing with three-way stopcock for flushing and contrast/medication administration
Supplied with matched dilator and compatible guidewire per configuration

Clinical Applications
Percutaneous vascular access for diagnostic and interventional cardiology procedures
Introduction of catheters, leads and devices that exceed the sheath hub diameter
Radial, femoral and peripheral access workflows where controlled sheath removal is required
Procedures in which the indwelling device must remain in place after sheath withdrawal
