The Fortress Introducer Sheath System is intended to provide access and to facilitate percutaneous introduction of guide wires, catheters and other devices into the femoral, popliteal and infrapopliteal arteries while while maintaining hemostasis during diagnostic and interventional procedures.

The Fortress Introducer Sheath System consists of an introducer sheath with hemostasis valve and side port, as well as a dilator with a tapered tip and Luer lock at the proximal end. The main introducer sheath tubing is connected at the proximal end to a hemostasis valve with side port tubing that is connected to a plastic 3-way stopcock valve. The side port is used for flushing the introducer sheath. The introducer sheath is introduced into the vascular system with the aid of the dilator. The hemostasis valve at the proximal end of the introducer sheath conforms and seals around guide wires and catheters to reduce blood leakage from the introducer sheath. A radiopaque marker helps identify the distal end of the introducer sheath. The Fortress Introducer Sheath System consists of the following components: - One: introducer sheath - Two: dilators
