Glidesheath Slender™
Expanding Transradial Access for more Patients
Glidesheath SlenderTM offers the smallest option for procedures requiring 5, 6 and 7 Fr sheaths.1 The proprietary thin-wall technology reduces the outside diameter of the introducer sheath by 1 Fr while maintaining a larger inner-diameter equivalent. The sheath is designed to maximize procedural outcomes, supporting transradial intervention every day.

Increase your radial access options with Glidesheath Slender™
- Ultra-thin wall leading to a 1 Fr reduction in outer diameter
- Designed towards minimizing mechanical irritation to the artery
- Result in less penetration resistance than conventional sheaths1,2
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 arteries1,3
- A smaller diameter sheath reduces the arteriotomy size, to enhance post-procedure haemostasis1
Thin-wall technology expands radial access for more complex PCI
- 5Fr for invasive PCI for patients with small radial artery diameter
- 6Fr as standard size for daily practice PCI
- 7Fr for complex PCI & larger devices (rotablation, bifurcation, left main, CTO, etc.)
MCoat™: Terumo’s hydrophilic coating
- Ease of insertion and removal
- Reduce penetration resistance compared to conventional sheaths4
- Reduce friction between the vessel and the introducer2
- Lower risk of adverse events such as radial artery occlusion1,2
- Glidesheath Slender™ demonstrates superior and consistent lubricity, and lubricity durability over time5
