More Information
Summary:Disclosed herein is a medical device including an introducer sheath including a stiffness transition and a dilator including a stiffness transition. When the dilator occupies the lumen of the introducer sheath, the stiffness transition of the introducer sheath is advantageously offset longitudinally from the stiffness transition of the dilator. The medical device can navigate through a significantly higher number of turns in vasculature than medical devices without longitudinally offset stiffness transitions.
