Terumo adds to line of radiopaque marker introducer sheaths

Terumo Interventional Systems has expanded its Pinnacle R/O II radiopaque marker introducer sheaths for vascular access, extending the range of interventional procedures performed by the technology.

The Pinnacle R/O II radiopaque marker introducer sheaths are now available in 4 French through 9 French, each in 6 cm, 10 cm and 25 cm lengths. The 10 cm and 25 cm are appropriate for interventional procedures (e.g. balloon and stent) or with ipsilateral approaches, according to the Somerset, N.J.-based Terumo. The 6 cm sheath can be used for superficial access sites. The 6 cm and 10 cm in 4 through 9 French sizes are also available with 0.038-inch guidewires (0.035-inch wire with 4 French sizes).
