More Information
Summary:A system includes an introducer configured to be inserted through the puncture along a guidewire that extends through the puncture into the vessel. The introducer includes an introducer body, a proximal tapered tip, a distal tapered tip that is opposite to the proximal tapered tip along the central axis, and a bore that extends from the proximal tapered tip to the distal tapered tip along the central axis. The system includes an access sheath configured to be inserted over the introducer. The access sheath includes a front end, a rear end opposite to the front end, and a lumen that extends from the front end to the rear end. The proximal tapered tip of the introducer is configured to be inserted into the front end and through the lumen of access sheath, such that a movable interference fit is attained between the access sheath and the introducer.
