An example introducer sheath includes a tubular member including a first layer and a second layer and a stent disposed between the first layer and the second layer of the tubular member. The stent includes an outer surface and an inner surface. Additionally, the stent is configured to shift from a first configuration to a second expanded configuration and the outer surface of the stent contacts the first layer of the tubular member in the second expanded configuration.
