PRODUCT PORTFOLIOS
ACCESS
SHEATH INTRODUCERS
Prelude IDeal™Hydrophilic Sheath Introducer
The Prelude IDeal is a hydrophilic access sheath that is 13% thinner than the competition.

WHY RADIAL?
“Aside from the benefits of earlier ambulation and fewer complications, transradial access procedures are preferred by patients.”
– Darren Klass, MD, PhD, Interventional Radiologist,
Vancouver Coastal Health, Vancouver, Canada
“The main reason I wanted to get started with the radial approach is the easy recovery and patient comfort. The patient can literally get off from the angio table and immediately start ambulating.”
– Christoph Binkert, MD, MBA, Interventional Radiologist,
Winterthur, Switzerland
“I tell my colleagues that the radial approach will change their practices, affect their bottom lines, and is significantly better for patients. I have had a number of patients thank me because their procedures were simpler and less complicated.”
– Michael Neuwirth, MD, Interventional Radiologist,
Heart and Vascular Radiology-Carle, Urbana, Illinois, USA
