 | The Edwards dynamic expansion mechanism
The sheath’s low profile and Dynamic Expansion Mechanism (DEM)set the
Edwards eSheath apart. This unique combination of features is designed to
minimize access vessel trauma and to facilitate smooth valve delivery with
no extra procedural steps required. | |
Designed to reduce vascular trauma
The Edwards eSheath features the innovative Dynamic Expansion Mechanism (DEM) that allows for transient sheath expansion
during valve delivery. Immediately after the Edwards SAPIEN XT Transcatheter Heart valve passes through the sheath, the DEM
allows the sheath to return to a low profile diameter. This reduces the time the access vessel is expanded, thereby minimizing
the risk of vascular trauma.
 | The lower profile of the 16F Edwards eSheath is designed to reduce trauma on access vessel entry and exit. | |  | | | | | |  | |
Allows for retrievability
If necessary, the DEM feature allows for the retrieval of the Edwards SAPIEN XT Transcatheter Heart valve prior to valve deployment.1
Reduced push force
The DEM feature combined with the eSheath’s coated inner lining, that has a low-coefficient of friction, reduces the push force through the shaft during device insertion by up to 40%.2 |
