Introducer Sheaths
Glidesheath Slender™
Hydrophilic Coated Sheath
- Glidesheath Slender™ is designed with a thin wall structure where the outside diameter is reduced by one French size while the inner-diameter equivalent is maintained.
- Glidesheath Slender™ is coated with Terumo’s proprietary hydrophilic coating, allowing for smooth insertion and removal.

Increase your radial access options with Glidesheath Slender™
- Ultra-thin wall leading to a 1 Fr reduction in outer diameter.
- Designed to minimize mechanical irritation to the artery.
- Results in less penetration resistance than conventional sheaths.1,2
Thin-wall technology expands radial access for more patients
- Perform diagnostic and interventional procedures without upsizing to a larger sheath.
- Provide easy radial access, especially in women with smaller radial arteries.1,3
- A smaller diameter sheath reduces the arteriotomy size, to enhance post-procedure haemostasis.1
Thin-wall technology expands radial access for more complex PCI
- 5 Fr for invasive PCI for patients with small radial artery diameter.
- 6 Fr as standard size for daily practice PCI.
- 7 Fr for complex PCI & larger devices (rotablation, bifurcation, left main, CTO, etc.).
Mcoat™: Terumo’s hydrophilic coating
- Ease of insertion and removal.
- Reduced penetration resistance compared to conventional sheaths.4
- Reduced friction between the vessel and the introducer.2
- Lower risk of adverse events such as radial artery occlusion.1,2
- Glidesheath Slender™ demonstrates superior and consistent lubricity, and lubricity durability over time.5
