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.
  • Extra Stiff Core: Offers superior pushability, especially in long or tortuous anatomies.
  • Enhanced Control: Ideal for complex navigation during endourological or peripheral vascular access.
  • 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.
  • 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.

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.
  • 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).
  • 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).
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
