Key Features

  • InWIRE PTCA Guidewire is engineered to provide the optimal balance of strength, flexibility, and precision needed during Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty procedures.
  • It is a trusted companion for clinicians aiming for successful outcomes and enhanced patient safety.
  • The hydrophilic-coated, flexible tip is designed to traverse tortuous vessels smoothly, reducing the risk of vessel trauma and ensuring atraumatic navigation.
  • Constructed from a blend of durable and flexible materials, InWire PTCA Guidewire ensures robust performance without compromising the ability to navigate through the complex coronary vasculature.
  • Material: Crafted from a state-of-the-art biocompatible ePTFE and a high-strength CoCr, ensuring longevity and stability.
  • Diameter: Ranging from 2.8 mm to 4.8 mm, providing options for various patient needs.

The InWIRE® 0.014” & 0.018” PTCA Guidewire is engineered to offer a unique solution for both percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) in peripheral interventions. Built around an elastic nitinol core wire and fortified with a hydrophilic polymer coating, InWIRE® combines enhanced steerability, torque transmission, and malleable tip customization—qualities essential for navigating complex vascular anatomies while maintaining exceptional control during lesion crossing and device deployment.

Elastic Nitinol Core

  • Shape Retention: The nitinol material ensures consistent resilience, returning the wire to its original form after navigating tight curves.

  • Durability & Fatigue Resistance: Minimizes deformation from repetitive torque and bending, particularly crucial in prolonged or challenging procedures.

Hydrophilic Polymer Coating

  • Low-Friction Advancement: The lubricious coating aids in crossing calcified or tortuous lesions, reducing vessel trauma and procedure time.

  • Smooth Device Delivery: Assists in efficient catheter and balloon transitions over the guidewire, enhancing overall workflow.

Flat, Malleable Tip

  • Customizable Shaping: Clinicians can bend or curve the distal tip to adapt to unique vessel paths or lesions.

  • High Tactile Feedback: Preserves operator feel, helping detect microchanges in lesion resistance to minimize vessel perforation risks.

Radiopaque Tip

  • Improved Visibility: Provides clear fluoroscopic tracking for tip localization and real-time positional feedback in coronary and peripheral interventions.

Torque Capability

  • Responsive Control: Ensures stable, predictable rotation from the proximal handle to the distal tip, aiding in precise lesion targeting.

  • Reduced Wire Buckling: Maintains wire integrity, even with frequent manipulations or acute directional changes.
