Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0107231A1] The present invention relates to an improved introducer device for insertion of catheters and other devices into the vasculature of a patient. Introducer devices of the present invention incorporate a polymeric layer (16) jacketing a variably flexible sheath (10) having a proximal end (14), a distal end (13) and a longitudinal shaft (12) extending therebetween wherein the sheath (10) surrounds a reinforcement member (17) for kink resistance and a lubricious inner substrate (15) having an internal passageway (18). Methods for manufacture of such devices are also disclosed.
