First Claim
Patent Images
1. A conduit for use in an interventional procedure comprising:
- a main body having a length;
at least one disruptable barrier within the main body extending along at least a portion of the length of the main body, defining at least two lumens within the main body;
wherein the barrier is adapted to be disrupted before or during the procedure to reduce the number of lumens within the main body.

Abstract
A conduit, such as an introducer sheath, catheter, or guide catheter, incorporating two or more separate lumens to prevent the entanglement of guidewires located at least partially within the conduit. The lumens are separated by at least one disruptable barrier that allows multiple lumens to be converted into fewer lumens prior to or as a device is advanced through the introducer sheath.

19. A kit comprising:
-
An introducer sheath having a length, a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen extending from the proximal end to the distal end; and
A dilator having a length, a proximal end, and a distal end, the dilator being sized to be locatable within the lumen of the introducer sheath and having an outer geometric shape that defines at least two lumens between the introducer sheath and the dilator when the dilator is inserted into the introducer sheath lumen. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21)
