micra introducer sheath with hydrophilic coating

The Micra Introducer Sheath is a specialized medical device featuring a hydrophilic coating, which reduces friction and facilitates smoother insertion into the vascular system. It is used to introduce catheters and other devices into the body, particularly during procedures that require precise vascular access. The hydrophilic coating enhances maneuverability and reduces the risk of vascular trauma.

This device is commonly used in interventional cardiology and radiology for procedures involving embolization, where precise delivery of coils or liquid agents is necessary. It is particularly useful in settings such as cardiac catheterization labs and interventional radiology suites. The sheath is designed for use in adult patients requiring vascular access for therapeutic interventions.

The Micra Introducer Sheath is indicated for use in patients requiring vascular access for the delivery of embolization devices. It is suitable for conditions where embolization is needed to block abnormal blood flow or to deliver therapeutic agents.

The sheath typically comes in various sizes to accommodate different patient anatomies and procedural requirements. Its hydrophilic coating requires activation with saline to ensure optimal performance. Clinicians should be familiar with the technique of sheath insertion and the compatibility with other devices used during the procedure.
