description abstractA new extended hemostasis valve for sheaths is presented, with minimized stick-slip behavior to be used in (heart) catheterization procedures during long interventions (3–6 h). The invented extension to this existing sheath bypasses the silicone rubber sealing (hemostasis valve) and replaces it with a dedicated seal with the two functions separated: (1) sealing around the catheter being used and (2) closing the sheath when the catheter is removed (valve function). Measurements have been performed on the current and the invented seals, showing that the axial friction force is reduced, with a factor of 6.4, from 1.4 N to 0.22 N.
