    摘要: An expandable sheath including an elongated inner member defining a central lumen extending therethrough. The inner member includes a first circumferential portion including a first and second longitudinal edges, and a second circumferential portion extending between the first and second longitudinal edges. The wall thickness of the first circumferential portion is greater than the wall thickness of the second circumferential portion. The elongated inner member is configured to transition from an unexpanded configuration to an expanded configuration in response to a radially outward force on an inner surface of the central lumen. In the unexpanded configuration, the elongated inner member is creased proximate the first and second longitudinal edges into a folded configuration such that the second circumferential portion is positioned at least partially radially inward of the first circumferential portion.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are expandable introducer sheaths and methods of making and using the same. The sheaths minimize trauma to a patient's vasculature by allowing for temporary expansion of a portion of the sheath to accommodate passage of a delivery system for an implant, then return to a non-expanded state after the passage of the device. The sheath includes a foldable inner member having a detached flap structure at its distal tip that facilitates expansion of the sheath lumen to increased diameters, and an elastomeric distal end that reduces push and retrieval forces therethrough. The sheath can include a hemostasis seal on its proximal end to prevent the leakage of blood out of the sheath and prevent ballooning of outer layer of the sheath.
