  • Splittable sheath
    Patent number: 10737071
    Abstract: In some examples, a splittable sheath includes a sheath body defining a lumen configured to receive an expandable balloon of a catheter, and a tab extending from a proximal end or a distal end of the sheath body. The tab includes a major surface having an outer edge defining a serpentine shape. Outward movement of the tab relative to a central longitudinal axis of the sheath body causes splitting of the sheath body.
    Type: Grant
