Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to adjustable sheath devices for insertion into the body to provide intravascular access to various medical devices, involving a dynamically expandable sheath capable of expanding within the blood vessel when a medical device is passed through the sheath and retracting back to almost its original size when the medical device is removed from the sheath. Embodiments generally comprise a rigid collar and an elongated sleeve comprising a continuous elastomeric outer layer and an expandable inner layer.

Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to retractable sheaths for protecting a luminal surface of a bodily vessel or canal from the introduction of a medical device within the bodily vessel or canal comprising a valve, a continuous elastomeric outer tube, and an at least partially discontinuous inner tube wherein the at least partially discontinuous inner tube is located within the outer tube luminal channel to form a circumferentially retractable elongated sleeve; also retractable sheaths comprising a rigid collar and a circumferentially retractable elongated sleeve comprising two separate layers including a continuous elastomeric outer layer and an expandable inner layer discontinuous at least in part, are disclosed herein.
