The steerable sheath is fitted with a hemostasis valve to minimize blood loss during catheter introduction and/or exchange. A side port with a three-way stopcock is provided for air or blood aspiration, and fluid infusion. The handle is equipped with a rotating collar to deflect the tip clockwise = 180¿ and counterclockwise = 180¿. The steerable sheath features distal vent holes to facilitate aspiration and minimize cavitation, and a radiopaque tip marker to allow fluoroscopic visualization. The sheath has electrodes on the outer surface to allow the sheath to interface with compatible CARTO" 3 Systems.
