The present application discloses devices and methods for monitoring the performance of a hemostasis device during a hemostatic procedure.

Monitoring system for a hemostasis band

The present technology is directed to introducer needle assemblies comprising a tapered needle; as well as to kits comprising a tapered needle, a guidewire and a dilator and sheath; as well as to methods of introducing a dilator to the interior of a patient's body as part of an interventional procedure.

Microaccess kit comprising a tapered needle

A retaining device for axially restraining a sheath connected to a housing and a dilator connected to a hub includes a generally C-shaped clip having spaced apart circumferential ends defining a clearance opening that opens into the clip interior to permit the clip to be mounted on the hub and an enlarged part of the housing. The interior of the clip has first and second inwardly directed ridges located at opposite axial portions of the curved inner circumferential surface for overlapping portions of oppositely facing end surfaces of the hub and the enlarged part of the housing. The clip also includes one or more laterally outwardly extending finger engaging tabs to facilitate removal of the clip, and one or more circumferentially extending through slot communicating the inner surface of the clip with an outer surface of the clip to permit flexing of the clip during removal of the clip.
