The Ballast™ 088 Long Sheath is a single lumen, braid-reinforced, variable stiffness catheter with a radiopaque zone on the distal end and a luer hub on the proximal end. The Ballast 088 Long Sheath dimensions are included on the individual device label and listed below. The Ballast 088 Long Sheath is compatible with introducer sheaths appropriately sized for the outer diameter of the Ballast 088 Long Sheath. The catheter is provided sterile, non-pyrogenic, and is intended for single use only. The Ballast 088 Long Sheath includes the Ballast 088 Long Sheath, Dilator, Introducer Sheath, 9F Rotating Hemostasis Valve (RHV) and 8F Hemostasis Valve Adapter (HVA). The Dilator facilitates the percutaneous entry of the Ballast 088 Long Sheath by forming an atraumatic transition of distal sheath through the skin and subcutaneous tissue to the vessel while protecting the Ballast distal diameter integrity.
