InWIRE 0.014” & 0.018” CTO Guidewire
A range of high-performance guidewires offering durable nitinol or stainless cores, hydrophilic coatings, and multiple tip shapes for crossing calcified 或 complex coronary & peripheral lesions.
InWIRE® is a recanalization guidewire system specifically crafted to facilitate the insertion of catheters 和 interventional medical devices in challenging vascular lesions, particularly in cases of chronic total occlusion (CTO). By combining hydrophilic coating, torque control, and a flat, malleable tip, InWIRE aims to enhance steerability, pushability, and precision in complex anatomical pathways.
Flat, Malleable Tip
- Customizable Shaping: The tip can be bent or angled to navigate tortuous vessels and tight occlusions.
- Tactile Feedback: Physicians experience improved tip response, aiding in precise lesion crossing.
Hydrophilic Polymer Coating
- Low Friction: Minimizes resistance in heavily calcified or fibrotic lesions, reducing the risk of wire-induced trauma.
- Enhanced Trackability: Facilitates smooth passage through narrow segments, supporting faster lesion penetration and fewer wire exchanges.
Radiopaque Tip
- Clear Fluoroscopic Visualization: Real-time visibility of the wire tip promotes safer lesion navigation and helps avoid dissection planes or perforation.
- Accurate Positioning: Confidence in wire tip location reduces procedural guesswork and shortens total procedure time.
Torque Capability
- 360-Degree Steerability: Balanced torque transfer from the proximal shaft ensures stable manipulation in CTO recanalization.
- Reduced Wire Buckling: Construction designed to withstand rotational forces, preserving wire integrity during prolonged procedures.
Multiple Diameter Options
- 0.014” & 0.018”: Addresses various interventional needs, from coronary vessels (common for 0.014”) to peripheral arteries (common for 0.018”).
