CS Lateral Vein Introducers

SafeSheath® Worley Telescopic LV Introducer System with Target Vein Selector

Braided, uniquely shaped, high-torque, 7 and 5.5 French I.D. sliceable introducer system with radiopaque tip, breakaway hemostatic hub, and Target Vein Selector for sub-selective access during LV lead placement.


Successful Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) requires accurate delivery of the pacing lead to specific postero-lateral epicardial LV pacing sites via the coronary sinus. While the SafeSheath® CSG Worley introducer makes coronary sinus access much easier, high pacing thresholds, phrenic pacing, lead instability and angulated venous branches can make for difficult and prolonged procedure times, resulting in less desirable lead position and implant failures.

The SafeSheath® Worley Telescopic Braided lateral vein introducer (LVI) was designed to solve this problem. Available in four unique curves, the LVI provides sub-selective access to the target vein. When combined with our new Target Vein Selector, better, more reliable access to the chosen vessel is achieved, no matter what the situation.

Better Access / Reduced Implant Times
When deployed through the 7 French I.D. LVI, the
5 French O.D. Target Vein Selector is the easiest way to locate and cannulate the target vein, serving as a “rail” for advancing the LV introducer into the vein.

For delivery of larger, more stable leads, the 7 French LVI’s braided construction and multidurometer reinforced proximal curve delivers increased torque control and tip directivity, providing needed support and stability during procedures.

If access to smaller veins is required, our new 5.5 French I.D. Renal-curved LVI is also available.

Improved Visualization
Contrast injection is easily accomplished with the SafeSheath LVI’s convenient sideport, while the radiopaque tip marker enhances fluoroscopic visualization during procedures.

Easy Removal
The unique, breakaway hub requires no plastic to cut through, reducing the risk of lead dislodgement. One side of the hub has an integrated handle which stays firmly attached to the sheath, helping with control and stability during slicing and removal. Finally, the advanced material of the LVI sheath offers uniform resistance during slicing with the user-friendly cutter.

Right for All Situations
Together, the combination of our SafeSheath CSG, Worley Telescopic LVI and Target Vein Selector helps you avoid the problems associated with LV lead placement AND reduce your implant times 30-50%. The SafeSheath Worley Braided Telescopic system gets you where you need to go… every time.
