UroGuide GuideWires
Precision-engineered guidewires designed to provide exceptional control and flexibility during urological procedures, ensuring smooth navigation and enhanced access to the urinary tract.
UroGuide presents a comprehensive range of guide wires for diverse urological and vascular interventions, ensuring precise placement, smooth device tracking, and kink-resistant performance. From standard PTFE-coated stainless steel wires to advanced nitinol-core hydrophilic options, UroGuide guide wires are engineered to support clinicians in tackling a variety of anatomical challenges while enhancing procedural efficiency and patient safety.
Standard – PTFE-Coated Stainless Steel
- Reliable Basic Wire: Combines a stainless steel core with PTFE coating for low friction and straightforward manipulation.
- Versatile, Cost-Effective: Suitable for routine procedures requiring stable wire support in both diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.
Lunderquist – PTFE-Coated Stainless Steel
- Extra Stiff Core: Offers superior pushability, especially in long or tortuous anatomies.
- Enhanced Control: Ideal for complex navigation during endourological or peripheral vascular access.
Guide Wire with Movable Core – PTFE-Coated Stainless Steel
- Adjustable Stiffness: The movable inner core allows tailored flexibility or rigidity, adapting in real time to the demands of the procedure.
- Precision Placement: Balances trackability and support, facilitating accurate instrument exchange and positioning.
Uncoated Stainless Steel Wire
- Friction-Controlled: Maintains a simpler surface if PTFE coating is not required or if direct tactile feedback is preferred.
- General Use: Offers a basic, stable foundation for less complex manipulations.
Tiger Guide Wire
Black-Yellow Swivel Design
- Improved Wire Movement Control: The unique black-yellow swirl provides a visual reference for real-time torque application and orientation feedback.
- Enhanced Operator Handling: Operators can more easily gauge wire twist and rotation, reducing the risk of unintended wire movements.
Nitinol Core
- Kink Resistance: Maintains shape integrity even under repeated angulations or maneuvers through tight anatomies.
- Consistent Wire Memory: Superelastic nitinol resists permanent deformation, ensuring reliable reusability (as permitted by local protocols).
PTFE Coating
- Easy & Fast Placement: The lubricious surface lowers friction during vessel or ureter navigation, streamlining device insertion.
- Optimized Gliding: Minimizes trauma to the ureter or vascular endothelium, thus enhancing patient comfort and reducing complication rates.
Clinical Advantages & Applications
Broad Spectrum of Procedures
- Urological Endoscopy: Facilitates ureteral stent placement, stone retrieval, or upper tract interventions with minimal friction.
- Percutaneous Access: Vital in establishing reliable vascular entry for catheters, sheath introduction, or device deliverability (e.g., nephrostomy, arterial/venous interventions).
Versatile Diameter & Tip Configurations
- Multiple Profiles: Matches operator preference—whether for stiff push or flexible tip.
- Effective in Challenging Anatomies: Options for extra-stiff support, adjustable stiffness, or high lubricity ensure a solution for each complexity level.
Reduced Risk of Kinking & Improved Device Control
- Nitinol or Stiff Core: Ensures stable navigation in S-shaped or heavily calcified pathways, preserving wire position and lowering procedure times.
- PTFE or Hydrophilic Layers: Minimizes friction, protecting mucosal surfaces and diminishing the potential for wire-induced complications.
Enhanced Safety & Patient Comfort
- Minimal Tissue Trauma: Smooth coatings and flexible design help avoid inadvertent injury to ureteral or vascular walls.
- Fewer Exchanges: High-performance wires can obviate repeated wire switching, benefiting both the clinical workflow and patient experience.
