Sheath/catheter system with controlled hardness and flexibility |
| abstract |
A sheath/catheter system includes a catheter including a proximal end and a distal end, the distal end including a distal tip portion exhibiting controlled hardness and flexibility. The system also includes a sheath including a proximal end and a distal end. The system further includes a mechanism for controlling the hardness and flexibility of the distal tip portion of the catheter. A method for vascular access is achieved by introducing a catheter into a vessel, advancing a sheath over the catheter and into the vessel, altering the catheter or sheath to change the respective flexibility and hardness thereof and further advancing the catheter or sheath within the vascular system to a predetermined location. |
