Zebra Guidewire for Urological Procedures
A flexible, high-visibility guidewire designed for precision navigation during urological interventions, ensuring enhanced control, reduced trauma, and optimal support for minimally invasive procedures.
The Zebra Guidewire is a specialized urological guidewire meticulously designed to deliver enhanced visibility, flexibility, e control during diverse endourological interventions. Recognized by its distinctive striped pattern, the Zebra Guidewire simplifies fluoroscopic monitoring while offering strong kink-resistance e maneuverability—thereby optimizing efficiency and reducing procedure time in both routine and complex cases.
Caratteristiche principali
Striped (Zebra) Pattern
- Distinct Visual Marker: Eases recognition of guidewire motion under fluoroscopy, potentially lowering radiation exposure by minimizing repeated imaging.
- Reliable Tracking: The unique striping aids consistent orientation checks, especially during device exchange or repositioning.
Tip Options: Hydrophilic or PTFE
- Hydrophilic Tip: Boasts a soft, atraumatic tip with a lubricious coating, minimizing friction within the ureter or urinary tract. This ensures flexible navigation and reduced risk of tissue trauma.
- PTFE Tip: Exhibits a zebra pattern designed to facilitate easier visual monitoring of wire manipulation. Its robust finish supports repeated passage through tortuous pathways without compromising wire integrity.
Robust Core Construction
- Sturdy Core: Delivers kink-resistance and torque conduction, assisting in negotiating acute angles or navigating challenging anatomies.
- High Maneuverability: Ensures stable positioning in the renal collecting system or distal ureter, providing reliable device support.

Clinical Advantages & Indications
Urological Endoscopy
- Flexible Ureteroscopy: The flexible nature of the Zebra Guidewire enables comfortable insertion for upper urinary tract procedures like stone retrieval or diagnostic imaging.
- Percutaneous Nephroscopy: Offers stable wire placement for secure sheath or catheter introduction in complex renal access cases.
Enhanced Fluoroscopic Visibility
- Striped Pattern Recognition: Improves real-time tracking of the wire’s progression, diminishing the need for repeated radiation exposures.
- Precise Wire Movement: Facilitates accurate device alignment, particularly important in stone manipulation or stent placement.
Reduced Tissue Trauma
- Atraumatic Hydrophilic Tip: Minimizes mucosal irritation or inadvertent damage to sensitive ureteral/renal tissue.
- Controlled Exchange: A stable platform for exchanging endourological instruments without losing crucial access.
Versatile Sizing & Lengths
- Diameter: Available in 0.028”, 0.032”, or 0.035” to suit varying clinical demands and scope compatibility.
- Lengths: 50 cm, 80 cm, and 150 cm provide adaptable coverage for both short ureteral procedures and extended interventions in the renal pelvis or beyond.
