Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An introducer sheath (10) for insertion into the body of a patient through an access site of the body. The introducer sheath comprises a longitudinal sheath member (11) for insertion into the access site to carry out intravascular work, and a radiopaque marker element (12) arranged over the outer surface (lid) of the longitudinal sheath member. The radiopaque marker element is moveable along at least part of the longitudinal length of the longitudinal sheath member from a first position, at which the radiopaque marker element is not in contact with the access site, to a second position, at which the radiopaque marker element abuts the access site such that insertion of the radiopaque marker element into the access site is prevented.
