Guide Wire: Hydrophilic
Hydrophilic guide wire provides an optimum level of lubricity to cross the most difficult lesion and facilitates successful clinical outcomes in the most challenging procedures.
​The resilient hydrated gel coating provides a constant fluid layer on the wire surface for optimum lubricity and long lasting durability. Nitinol core wire and radiopaque jacket are designed to provide enhanced visibility.
FEATURES
Guide wire tip to be delivered to the desired position in a vessel
Transmit rotational forces from the operators hand to the tip
Advance balloon catheters/other devices on Guidewire
Allows moving the distal tip to search for the true lumen
Permits shape memory retention of the distal tip throughout
better appreciated with non-coated/hydrophobic coated, coil tipped wires and it with hydrophilic coating
