ABSTRACT:
A hemostatic valve couples to a sheath proximal hub having an inside and an outside surface. The hemostatic valve has a valve body having a proximal porting and end, and a distal portion and end. A passageway extends longitudinally through the valve body between the proximal and distal ends. A sealing element is positioned within the passageway. The distal portion of the valve body includes a pair of contact surfaces forming an annular gap receiving the sheath proximal hub of the sheath so that the contact surfaces sandwich the sheath proximal hub forming a seal on both the inside and outside surfaces of the hub. The valve body and the sheath proximal hub includes two oppositely placed longitudinal lines of fissure that allow the hub to be separated into two halves with the valve body.
