    Abstract: An expandable sheath may include an inelastic compliant membrane having a lumen therethrough, and a discontinuous outer member bonded to the membrane. The membrane may include one or more folds formed therein. At least a portion of the outer member may extend continuously around a circumference of the membrane in a first configuration. The outer member may be configured to separate to a second configuration when subjected to a radially outward force from within the membrane. The outer member may taper from a first diameter adjacent a proximal hub to a second smaller diameter at a distal end. A method of manufacturing an expandable sheath may include forming one or more folds in a compliant membrane, cutting a plurality of apertures through a wall of an outer covering; and laminating the outer covering onto the membrane, wherein the plurality of apertures is disposed over the one or more folds.

    Abstract: An example implant delivery system is disclosed. The example implant delivery system includes a catheter shaft having a distal end region and proximal end region, an implant coupled to the distal end region of the catheter shaft, a handle coupled to the proximal end region of the catheter shaft and an introducer sheath disposed along the catheter shaft. The introducer sheath includes an inner liner including a lumen and an expandable support member. The support member includes a plurality of ribs extending along a length of the support member. The introducer sheath further includes a sheath attached to at least a portion of the support member, wherein the support member is designed to shift from a first position to an expanded position.
