Abstract

A catheter hemostasis valve hub for a catheter or introducer sheath has a generally tubular shell with a first region and a second region having a greater thickness than the first region, a pre-slit hemostasis seal within the shell, and an end cap to retain the hemostasis seal within the shell having a web section. The hub is easily cut or slit after introduction of the catheter without prior breaking.
