There are a number of other beneficial features as well, including:
- An easy grip T-hub that provides a secure grip during peeling and removal
- The dilator tip radius provides a smooth transition from the guidewire
- French sizes permanently molded on the dilator hub for easy identification
- The PTFE Peelable design permits elimination of mechanical skiving, providing a smooth and even peel
- Compatible with most therapeutic and diagnostic catheters and guidewires
- Standard introducers are compatible with 0.035" and 0.038" diameter guidewires
