The Merit Medical PreludeEASE Hydrophilic Sheath Introducer (REF PHR6F23018NT) is a single-use vascular access sheath engineered to support diagnostic and interventional catheterization procedures. Its hydrophilic coating is intended to reduce insertion force and support smooth navigation through the access vessel, while the integrated dilator and sheath assembly provide a stable conduit for catheter exchanges.

Key Features
Hydrophilic coating on the sheath to facilitate smooth insertion and reduced friction during tracking.
Integrated dilator designed to support a controlled transition between guidewire and sheath.
Radiopaque marker to assist with fluoroscopic visualization of the sheath tip.
Side-arm extension with three-way stopcock to support flushing and contrast or medication administration.
Hemostasis valve designed to minimize blood loss and air ingress during device exchanges.
Kink-resistant sheath body intended to maintain lumen integrity during use.

Clinical Applications
Introduction of diagnostic and interventional catheters and devices into the vascular system.
Support for coronary and peripheral procedures requiring reliable percutaneous vascular access.
Facilitation of guidewire and catheter exchanges through a single access point.
Use in procedures where a hydrophilic access sheath is preferred by the operator.
