Abstract

See full text

A connection system for connecting a hemostasis valve to a sheath is disclosed. The hemostasis valve has a cannula portion disposed on a distal end and an annular ledge protruding from an outer surface thereof. The sheath has a nipple extending proximally therefrom. The nipple also has an annular ledge disposed on an outer surface thereof and a nipple lumen adapted for receiving the distal end of the cannula portion. A sliding connector defining a connector lumen is disposed about the outer surface of the cannula portion and the outer surface of the nipple when the cannula portion is received in the lumen of the nipple. A connection between the hemostasis valve and the sheath is created by engaging the sliding connector with either or both of the annular ledge on the hemostasis valve and the annular ledge on the nipple.
