NON-OCCLUDING INTRODUCER SHEATH WITH EXPANDABLE DISTAL TIP ANCHOR

Abstract

An introducer sheath for use in delivering a device includes a hub, an elongate shaft including a proximal end region connected to the hub, a distal end region and a lumen extending therethrough. Further contemplated is a distal tip anchor that may be disposed proximate the distal end region. The distal tip anchor may have a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration. The hub may include an actuation element operatively connected to the distal tip anchor such that actuation of the actuation element may deploy the distal tip anchor into the expanded configuration.
