Abstract
An introducer sheath is configured to inhibit or prevent a distal section from being curled even when the wall thickness thereof is reduced, an introducer sheath is formed from a sheath tube that has a hollow section into which an elongated body can be inserted, and includes a sheath distal section and a sheath main body section. In the sheath for an introducer, the sheath distal section is formed to be harder than the sheath main body section.
