The present invention provides an anti-fracture sheath. The anti-fracture sheath comprises a tube body and an expansion section for accommodating an implantable device, wherein one side of the distal end of the tube body is joined with the expansion section, at least two reinforcing ribs are axially arranged on the tube wall of the expansion section in an internally extending manner, and the proximal ends of the reinforcing ribs extend from the expansion section and are fixedly connected with the tube wall of the tube body; and the materials of the reinforcing ribs are Kevlar fibers, the diameter of each reinforcing rib is from 0.03 mm to 0.12 mm, and the number of the reinforcing ribs is from two to four. The anti-fracture sheath provided by the present invention has the advantage that the strength of the expansion section is improved when the whole compliance of the sheath is maintained, thereby avoiding fracture of the sheath in an implantable device releasing process.
