PTFE Guide Wire

PTFE Guide Wire is kink resistive with or without PTFE coating, galvanized stainless steel and having a fixed core.

Flat wire outer coil allows for larger core and increased shaft rigidity to assist in navigating tortuous anatomy and device placement.

Smooth PTFE coating provides a low coefficient of friction to facilitate advancement and catheter tracking. Tungsten-filled radiopaque tip enhances fluoroscopic visualization.

Advanced Features

Guidewire tip to be delivered to the desired position in a vessel
Transmit rotational forces from the operator’s hand to the tip
Advance balloon catheters/other devices on Guidewire
Allows moving the distal tip to search for the true lumen.
Permits shape memory retention of the distal tip throughout
better appreciated with non-coated/hydrophobic coated, coil tipped wires and it with a hydrophilic coating.
