Gasket for catheter hemostasis valve

摘要

A valve partition (36) used in a hemostasis valve of a catheter includes a body having first (38) and second (40) opposing surfaces and an opening (42) extending between the first and second surfaces. A portion of at least one of the first and second surfaces has a coarse topography (44) that reduces its surface area. The coarse topography includes peaks (46) and valleys (48). <IMAGE> <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
