St. Stone Pivot Introducer Sheath - Femoral 5F

The St. Stone Pivot Introducer Sheath – Femoral is engineered to provide smooth, controlled vascular access during femoral catheterization and interventional procedures. Its low-profile, kink-resistant sheath ensures easy vessel entry, while the hydrophilic coating enhances trackability and reduces friction. The integrated hemostatic valve effectively minimizes blood leakage, supporting a cleaner working field. With its ergonomic hub and reliable stability, Pivot helps clinicians achieve predictable, safe, and efficient femoral access in demanding procedural environments.

Key Benefits

The Pivot Introducer Sheath – Femoral streamlines vascular access with its hydrophilic-coated sheath, enabling smoother advancement and reduced tissue trauma. Its hemostatic valve minimizes blood backflow, improving cleanliness and safety during catheter exchanges. The kink-resistant structure maintains reliable stability, helping caregivers work efficiently. Designed for ergonomic handling, Pivot reduces insertion resistance, improves procedural control, and supports consistent access outcomes, especially in high-acuity femoral interventions.

The Pivot Introducer Sheath – Femoral is constructed from durable medical-grade polymer engineered for flexibility and structural stability during vascular entry. Its hydrophilic coating enhances glide performance, while the tapered dilator uses a smooth atraumatic polymer blend to minimize vessel trauma. The valve is formed from precision-molded elastomers designed to maintain hemostasis. All materials are tested for biocompatibility and manufactured under strict quality standards to ensure safe femoral access.

• Prepare and disinfect the femoral access site using standard sterile technique.

• Introduce the guidewire and confirm intraluminal placement.

• Advance the dilator and sheath assembly over the guidewire with gentle, steady pressure.

• Insert the assembly into the vessel, ensuring controlled movement.

• Remove the dilator while stabilizing the sheath.

• Connect desired catheters or devices and secure the sheath as per clinical protocol.

Use only by trained clinicians experienced in vascular access procedures. Inspect the sheath, dilator, and valve before use and avoid using if any damage is detected. Do not force insertion, as this may cause vessel trauma or guidewire displacement. Ensure compatibility with guidewire and catheter sizes. Single-use only—do not resterilize or reuse. Monitor the access site throughout the procedure to detect bleeding, kinking, or access-related complications.
