Recognition, context, and distinction
What does it do, and where will I see it?
Use & procedural context
Peel-Away® introducer that delivers a catheter, then peels apart and is removed without disturbing it. Typical contexts include tunneled dialysis catheters, implanted ports, and tunneled central venous catheters.
What most clearly distinguishes it from similar devices?
Key distinctions
Unlike a conventional introducer sheath that is withdrawn intact, the Peel-Away® sheath separates longitudinally around the definitive catheter so the catheter can remain undisturbed.
