Abstract: Systems and methods for a multi-layered peel-away sheath assembly for insertion of a blood pump, the peel-away sheath assembly including a sheath hub and a sheath body having a proximal end that is connected to the sheath hub, and a distal end. The sheath body comprises multiple layers including a reinforcing layer. The reinforcing layer improves flexibility and kink resistance of the assembly The reinforcing layer can comprise LCP, PEBAX, stainless steel, Nitinol, or Kevlar. The reinforcing layer may be a laser-cut hypotube or a braided or coiled filament. A first layer material and a third layer material are thermoplastics, including PEBAX or TPU. The reinforcing layer has at least one discontinuity, which is aligned with peel-away lines in the sheath body to allow an operator to peel-away the assembly. The peel-away lines are formed of inner notches, outer notches, or both. The sheath hub also includes a discontinuity to allow the sheath hub to peel-away.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for insertion of a medical device into a blood vessel. The system may include a sheath assembly with an introducer sheath and a variable size repositioning sheath. The variable size repositioning sheath may be configured to be adjustable in size in a radial direction and to be inserted into the blood vessel or an expandable introducer sheath. In some aspects, the system may include an intracardiac device such as a blood pump with an elongate catheter.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a medical introducer includes placing an introducer sheath onto a mandrel, and overmolding an introducer hub onto a proximal end of the introducer sheath. The introducer sheath has one or more score lines formed on an inner surface and the mandrel has a number of surface protrusions so that when the introducer sheath is positioned on the mandrel, each of the surface protrusions contacts one of the score lines formed on the introducer sheath. The surface protrusions on the mandrel prevent plastic material from the introducer hub from contacting the score lines thereby maintaining the score lines during the overmolding.

Abstract: Various systems and devices, such as sheaths configured for antegrade and retrograde insertion into a patient's vasculature, are provided, to aid in preventing limb ischemia resulting from use of mechanical circulatory support. Such systems and devices may include various combinations of hubs, sheaths, and needle designs to allow, e.g., multiple medical devices to be inserted into a patient's vasculature, while minimizing blockage of the blood vessels.

Abstract: A device and method are provided for minimizing and/or preventing limb ischemia, such as when a medical device inserted into a patient’s vasculature occludes the vessel. The device may include a tubular member and one or more expandable features having metal wires disposed around the tubular member, the one or more wires disposed around the tubular member configured to be expanded at a target site, allowing blood to flow around and past any potentially occluding medical device.

Abstract: The present disclosure is drawn to an access device that includes a cannula with a joint lumen therethrough, and a hub coupled to a proximal end of the cannula. The hub includes at least two arms. The first arm may have a first lumen and a first hemostatic valve, the first lumen operably connected to the joint lumen, where the first lumen and the first hemostatic valve are configured for passage of a medical device, and the second arm may be coupled to the first arm and have a second lumen, the second lumen operable connected to the joint lumen, the second arm configured to be operably coupled to an external medical device, such as an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) device.
