Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A sheath assembly (40) includes a sheath body. A sheath hub (50) is fixedly connected to the body and includes a through passage. The sheath hub further defines a valve seat proximate the hub. A valve (80, 80', 80'') is seated in the valve seat and includes a valve body (82, 82', 82'') with a bisecting slot (83, 83', 83'') extending into a surface of the valve body (82, 82', 82'') and terminating at a depth less than the thickness of the valve body (82, 82', 82'') such that the remaining portion of the valve body defines a bridge extending between opposed halves of the valve body (82, 82', 82'') such that a surface of the valve body (82, 82', 82'') is substantially continuous (99), the valve (80, 80', 80'') extending across and sealing the through passage.
