Structure and features

A taper-ground stainless-steel core provides proximal support.

Under the same test conditions, a greater force required to bend the wire shaft by 5 mm indicates greater bending support, which helps support large-bore device delivery.

Pre-shaped curved tips are used for left ventricular positioning. 0.035″ × 275 cm; curve length and height tolerance ±3 mm.

Straight-tip series

Straight guidewire with black coating and silver distal tip, not to scale

Manually shapeable straight tip

May be manually shaped once before use. The shape is permanent and must not be reshaped.

0.035″: 1 / 3 / 7 cm Tip
0.038″: 1 / 3 / 6 cm Tip

Tip denotes the thin, straight distal segment; a longer Tip means a longer soft-tip segment.

Pre-shaped curved tips must not be reshaped.

Check the device requirements before selecting a model
