The disclosed introducer sheath assembly (21) has an introducer sheath (25) provided with: a sheath tube (23) which is introduced into a puncture site on a limb; and a sheath hub (24) which is mounted on the base side of the sheath tube.

The desired objective is to detect the position of said lever, said member being coupled at least at one of its ends to a terminator of a cable (1) slideably mounted in a sheath terminator (2) which is fixed.

The end piece and the jacket are materials of different composition.

A tip is attached to a distal end of the sheath body.

A delivery system for delivering and deploying a medical implant, such as a prosthetic heart valve, includes an elongated support member (28), a sheath (30), and a tip (132).

The needle guard assembly (12) includes a sliding needle hub (23) for positively locking a needle in the needle guard assembly.

The introducer sheath (14) has a flexible, tube-shaped sheath body (18) and a hub (20) into which the base end of the sheath body (18) is inserted.

The sheath includes a proximal hub (42) mountable to the body.

The delivery system may include a tip, a capsule, an inner sheath, and a projection.

The disclosed introducer sheath assembly (21) has an introducer sheath (25) provided with: a sheath tube (23) which is introduced into a puncture site on a limb; and a sheath hub (24) which is mounted on the base side of the sheath tube.

A first tube sheet (88, 288) and a second tube sheet (90, 290) are attached in first end cap (16, 216) and second end cap (90, 290), respectively.

The invention concerns a spectacle frame bow comprising a metal core on which is inserted a plastic sleeve or sheath (10).

A needle assembly (10) that includes a hub (20), a cannula and a retractable sheath (40).

A safety IV catheter includes a unitary, resilient needle guard received in a catheter hub.

The hub is removed to permit loading of a sleeve catheter over the proximal end of the balloon catheter.
