MEDTRONIC: 080011

Designed for easy insertion and for patient comfort, Input introducer sheaths are offered in two brands InputTS and Input PS. Input TS is Medtronic's FEP sheath with silicone coating to enhance the low drag coefficient of the sheath and dilator system. The polyethylene dilator with silicone coating and gradual taper reduces force during insertion. Input PS is based on the Input TS platform. The InputPS sheath includes a proprietary hydroPel coating that reduces insertion force. The hydrophilic coating activates on contact with fluids to produce a smooth, slick surface. The Pebax material shaft adds the right balance of strength and flexibility for atraumatic insertion into tortuous anatomies.
