The U.S. market for introducer sheaths can be segmented by type, yielding two segments: standard introducers and micro-introducers. In 2017, the larger segment was the micro-introducer sheath market. Micro-introducers have been experiencing relatively faster growth, compared to standard introducers, primarily driven by the transition from femoral access to radial access for diagnostic and interventional catheterization procedures.
Introducer sheaths facilitate the insertion of devices, such as guidewires and catheters, for use in interventional procedures. They are tube-shaped and are generally inserted by nurses. Introducer sheaths can also simplify the application of patches and closure devices at the end of procedures to allow hemostasis to occur. Introducer sheaths are sold in a wide range of sizes to fit patient requirements. They need to have kick resistance and an elongated shape that protects vessels from injuries. In addition, introducer sheaths need to have a transparent structure to allow visualization.
