These dilators are used for the percutaneous introduction of guidewires into the peripheral vasculature.

The dilator introducer consists of a tipped radiopaque tube with a molded hub that accepts up to a .038-inch guidewire

The GaltTWS Stylet is a percutaneous catheter stylet placed inside a catheter, lead, or cannula to stiffen the device for placement or extraction.

The GaltTWS stylet is comprised of a stainless steel twisted/braided wire of varying diameters (0.012-0.015 inch), and varying length (30-72cm). The GaltTWS stylet can be configured as a Twisted/Braided wire bonded to a hub, flushable hub, or connected to a flushable adjustable hub using the Galt Gateway Hemostasis Valve (K152528).

The Galt Medical Corp Elite HV Radial is indicated to facilitate placing a catheter through the skin into a vein or artery including but not limited to the radial artery.

The Galt Medical Corp Elite HV product has been on the market since February of 2005, and was cleared under 510(k) K043525. The clearance included sizes from 4-9FR, and lengths from 5-110 cm with the following indication for use: The Sheath Introducer system is indicated for use in percutaneous procedures to introduce catheters and other intravascular devices into the vasculature. The purpose of this 510(k) is to expand that indication for use for the Elite HV products to include radial placement. There were no design changes required as the current Galt offering included sizes which are appropriate for radial placement. The only limitation of the Radial placement claim is that the range of sizes is more limited due to the target anatomy. The Elite HV and Elite HV Radial consists of an introducer (valved sheath with sidearm and stopcock and dilator), which are packaged together with a guide wire. The Elite HV product is configured with a silicone valve or a TPE valve cleared under 510(k) K152528. Some product configurations also include an entry needle, guide wire inserter and a flushing syringe. The Elite HV Radial is used to facilitate placing a catheter through the skin into a vein or artery including but not limited to the radial artery. The sheath is coated with hydrophilic coating to minimize frictional resistance when inserting or removing the sheath from the patient's blood vessel. In addition, the sheath and dilator contain barium sulfate, making these devices visible under fluoroscopy.

These Coaxial Dilator Sets are intended to introduce up to a 0.038 in. guidewire or catheter into the vascular system following a small gauge needle stick

The Coaxial Dilator Set (Micro-Introducer) assembly consists of an inner dilator within a slightly shorter outer sheath which is connected to the inner dilator using a spin-lock type connector. The inner and outer dilators are made from radiopaque material so they are visible under fluoroscopy. The design of the subject device, Coaxial Dilator Set (Micro-Introducer) is unchanged from the current line of Coaxial Dilators (K000737). The subject and current marketed predicate devices are identical with the exception of the addition of an optional depth marker, optional outer hub & sheath material and additional lengths.

Tearaway introducer sheath: These introducers are used for the percutaneous introduction of diagnostic or therapeutic devices, such as catheters and pacing leads, into the vasculature. MicroSlide™ Tearaway introducers are used for the procedures to introduce catheters and other intravascular devices into the coronary and peripheral vasculature of adult and pediatric patients of all ages.

The Galt Medical Tearaway Introducer Sheath assembly consists of an outer peelable sheath and a dilator. The tear-away sheath has a winged hub to initiate the tear in the sheath. The design of the tearaway introducer sheath is unchanged from the current line of Tearaway Introducer Sheaths (K000313), and the pediatric version MicroSlide™ Tearaway Introducer (K123430). The subject and current marketed predicate devices are identical with the exception of the material used in the sheath hub.

The Attachable Cath Lab Hemostasis Valve is indicated to minimize blood loss during the introduction of catheters, guidewires and other intravascular devices into the vasculature.

The Galt Medical Attachable Cath Lab Hemostasis Valve assembly consists of a molded hub with an integrated hemostasis valve, sideport tubing with 3 way stopcock. The design of the Attachable Cath Lab Hemostasis Valve is derived directly from the current line of Galt Medical Cath Lab Introducer Sheath (K043525). The subject and predicate device are both have an integrated hemostasis valve, and side port tubing with stopcock.

The introducer system is intended for use in percutaneous procedures to introduce catheters and other intravascular devices into the peripheral vasculature.

The finished device is a valved tear-away introducer for use in percutaneous procedures to introduce or position catheters or other interventional devices into the peripheral vasculature. The unmodified predicate introducers are constructed using identical processes and material with the exception of the subject device was modified to add a new valve design and material. The performance characteristics to the current marketed predicate device are unchanged and are consistent with other legally marketed devices.

The MicroSlide™ Tearaway Introducer System is intended for use in percutaneous procedures to introduce catheters and other intravascular devices into the coronary and peripheral vasculature of adult and pediatric patients of all ages.

The MicroSlide™ Tearaway Introducer is constructed using identical processes and materials as the predicate devices; Tearaway Introducer Sheath, Galt Medical, K000313 with the addition of smaller sizes 2 & 3French, and the Galt VTI™ Valved Tear-away Introducer, K112398 without the hemostasis valve. The MicroSlide™ Tearaway Introducer device consists of two components; a dilator and an outer sheath. The outer sheath is a one piece, molded hub/sheath "tearaway" design that with minimal force will break and separate at the hub/wing to facilitate the removal of the sheath tube from the patient by peeling/splitting the tub longitudinally down its length. The dilator tube is an open plastic tube with an integral molded luer hub for guidewire insertion. The dilator is longer than the outer sheath with a tapered distal tip. The sheath hub and dilator hub lock together using a rotating motion to add in insertion of the device into the vasculature.

The Introducer System is intended for use in percutaneous procedures to introduce catheters and other intravascular devices into the peripheral vasculature.

The finished device is a tear-away introducer for use in percutaneous procedures to introduce or position catheters or other interventional devices into the peripheral vasculature. The unmodified predicate introducers are constructed of the same or similar materials. The device is being modified to add a tear-away hemostasis valve. The combined performance characteristics of the predicate devices are unchanged and are consistent with other legally marketed predicate devices.

The Galtstick™ Introduce system is indicated for percutaneous introduction and place of catheters and guidewires.

The Galtstick™ device adds a stiffening cannula with an attached hub for ease of insertion into the body.
