ABSTRACT:
A catheter introducer sheath comprises a polyimide tube manufactured by a dispersion coating process. The inner diameter of the tube is constant over its entire length. The thickness of the tube is 0.005 inches which is an optimal compromise between the size or outer diameter of the sheath and its ability to resist kinking when inserted into the patient's vasculature.
