The INT Medical Transradial Introducer Set I supplies everything needed to open radial access in one package. A 21G needle punctures the artery at the wrist. A 0.021-inch guidewire passes through it into the vessel. The sheath and dilator then advance over that wire as an assembly, and the dilator is withdrawn to leave the sheath in place. Catheters run through the sheath for the rest of the case.

Three references are offered. TR01 is 5F with a 1.9 mm inner diameter. TR02 and TR02A are both 6F at 2.1 mm. Working length separates the two 6F options, at 110 mm for TR02 and 160 mm for TR02A. In every reference, the dilator runs 58 mm longer than its sheath, so the tapered dilator tip protrudes ahead of the sheath during insertion.

That protruding taper is the point INT emphasises. A longer taper gives a more gradual step from guidewire to dilator to sheath. An abrupt step catches at the puncture site, and the radial artery is small and prone to spasm, so insertion force matters more here than at the femoral. INT also cites pushability, flexibility,y and radiopacity for the sheath. The guidewire is 0.021 inch in all three sets, with stainless steel and hydrophilic versions available on request. The needle is 21G by 45 mm, matching the specification of INT's own SN06 access needle. Set I in the product name indicates a second transradial set elsewhere in INT's range.

Medigear.uk supplies the range to UK catheter laboratories. Sterility, sheath outer diameter and UK conformity are confirmed before order.

Radial access is now the default route for coronary angiography and intervention in most UK centres. Puncturing at the wrist rather than the groin lowers access site bleeding, and the artery is compressible against bone if bleeding does occur. Patients can sit up immediately and mobilise sooner. The trade-off is vessel size, because the radial artery is far smaller than the femoral and it reacts to instrumentation.

That reactivity shapes the whole product design. Radial artery spasm is common and makes sheath insertion painful and catheter manipulation difficult. Radial artery occlusion after the procedure is the other concern, and it is linked to how large the sheath is relative to the artery. Both push in the same direction, toward the smallest sheath that will take the required catheters, inserted with the least force. This is why the taper between guidewire, dilator and sheath matters and why INT emphasises it.

Size selection follows the case. A 5F sheath covers diagnostic angiography and takes 5F catheters. A 6F sheath is the usual choice where intervention is expected, since most stent and balloon systems are built around 6F guide catheters. The 160 mm TR02A gives a longer segment inside the vessel, which some operators prefer for support during catheter exchanges. Radiopacity allows the sheath tip to be seen under fluoroscopy, confirming position. At the end of the case, the sheath is removed,d and a compression band is applied over the puncture.

Peripheral interventional radiology uses the same sets for radial access to non-coronary territory. Medigear.uk supplies the instructions for use with every order.

Complete Access Kit in One Reference

Needle, guidewire, dilator, and sheath arrive together, so radial access is a single line item rather than four separate picks.

Extended Taper Between Dilator and Sheath

A longer taper gives a more gradual step at the arteriotomy, which matters in a vessel prone to spasm.

Dilator Protrudes 58 mm Beyond the Sheath

The tapered tip leads the assembly in every reference, bridging the diameter step from wire to full sheath.

Two Working Lengths at 6F

TR02 and TR02A let a unit choose between a shorter sheath and a longer one without changing size or supplier.

5F and 6F Both Available

Diagnostic and interventional sizing come from the same range, so a laboratory stocks one family for both.

Standard 0.021 Inch Radial Wire

The supplied wire matches the configuration used across the industry for radial kits, so it fits existing technique.

Guidewire Material Choice

Stainless steel and hydrophilic versions are both offered on request rather than fixed at one option.

Consolidated Supply Through Medigear.uk

Medigear.uk quotes the TR range alongside INT's access needles, manifolds, syringes and extension tubing on one account.

TR01, 5F Sheath

1.9 mm inner diameter with a 110 mm working length.

TR02, 6F Sheath

2.1 mm inner diameter with a 110 mm working length.

TR02A, 6F Long Sheath

2.1 mm inner diameter with a 160 mm working length.

Matched Dilator in Every Set

Dilator inner diameter is 0.68 mm throughout, at 168 mm or 218 mm to suit the sheath.

0.021 Inch Guidewire

Every set includes a wire sized for radial access.

21G by 45 mm Needle

The access needle matches the specification of INT's SN06.

Extended Taper Design

The sheath-to-dilator transition is lengthened to reduce insertion resistance.

Stated Pushability

INT cites pushability as a design characteristic of the sheath.

Stated Flexibility

Sheath flexibility is listed alongside pushability and radiopacity.

Radiopacity

The sheath is described as radiopaque, allowing position to be checked under fluoroscopy.

Stainless Steel Guidewire Option

A stainless steel 0.021 inch wire is available on request.

Hydrophilic Guidewire Option

A hydrophilic 0.021 inch wire is available on request.

The INT Medical Transradial Introducer Set I covers wrist access across three references, giving 5F for diagnostic work and 6F in two working lengths where intervention is expected. Each set arrives complete with needle, guidewire, dilator and sheath, and the extended taper between dilator and sheath addresses the insertion resistance that matters most in a vessel prone to spasm. Medigear.uk supplies the range to UK cardiac catheter laboratories and interventional radiology suites, alongside INT's access needles and interventional accessories. Before supply, Medigear.uk will confirm the sheath outer diameter for each reference, whether the sheath carries a hydrophilic coating, guidewire length and standard material, sterility and single-use status, shelf life, box quantity, packing dimensions in LBH mm, and UK conformity status.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything buyers need to know about sourcing medical equipment through MediGear.

It establishes arterial access at the wrist. Radial access has largely replaced femoral access for coronary work, because bleeding complications are lower and patients can sit up and mobilise sooner afterwards. The set covers puncture through to a seated sheath. Medigear.uk supplies it to UK cardiac catheter laboratories and interventional radiology suites.

Four components. A 21G by 45 mm needle for the puncture, a 0.021 inch guidewire, a dilator, and the sheath itself. That combination is the standard radial configuration used across the industry. Medigear.uk will confirm whether any additional items, such as a side arm extension or three-way tap, are included in the packed set.

Working length only. Both are 6F with a 2.1 mm inner diameter. TR02 has a 110 mm sheath with a 168 mm dilator. TR02A has a 160 mm sheath with a 218 mm dilator. The longer version gives more sheath inside the vessel, which some operators prefer for stability. Medigear.uk can supply both for assessment.

The sheath gives inner diameter only, and outer diameter is the figure that matters most in radial work. The radial artery is small, and the ratio between sheath outer diameter and artery diameter is linked to spasm and to radial artery occlusion. Medigear.uk will obtain the outer diameter for each reference before supply.

The material supplied does not say. It mentions a hydrophilic guidewire available on request, but coating on the sheath itself is a separate question. Hydrophilic sheath coating is associated with easier insertion and reduced spasm in radial access. Medigear.uk will establish whether the TR sheaths are coated, and whether a coated version exists.

A 0.021 inch wire in every set. INT states that both stainless steel and hydrophilic versions are available on request, which suggests one is standard and the other optional, though the sheet does not say which. Guidewire length is also not given. Medigear.uk will confirm the standard wire type and its length.

So its tapered tip sits ahead of the sheath during insertion. The dilator is 58 mm longer in all three references. That protruding taper bridges the step from the thin guidewire up to the full sheath diameter, spreading the dilation gradually rather than presenting a blunt edge at the arteriotomy.

None of these is confirmed in the material supplied. Access sets of this type are normally sterile and single-use, but INT's sheet does not state either. No CE or UKCA marking information is given. Medigear.uk will establish sterility, sterilisation method, single-use status, shelf life, and UK conformity before supply.
