0.035” PTFE Guidewire

0.035” PTFE guidewires are coated with PTFE over the entire wire surface for smooth, consistent coverage that resists flaking. Less friction PTFE means increased trackability, lubricity, and durability. PTFE is the shortened name of the chemical polytetrafluoroethylene, and Teflon is the trade name of the same polymer. The PTFE-Coated guidewire is a smooth, flat wire wrapped over a stainless steel core designed to provide balanced performance. The stiff proximal shaft helps ensure pushability and control while the floppy distal tip helps enable precise, less traumatic advancement. The materials used to make guidewires have varied over the years but today they primarily consist of stainless steel and Nitinol (nickel titanium).

0.035” Hydrophilic Guidewire​

The 0.035” Hydrophilic Guidewire is used to guide the placement of diagnostic catheters and guide catheters, in addition to other devices such as balloons and stents, for example. Usually Its core is made up of Nitinol and has hydrophilic coating throughout the body, when wet, hydrophilic coating increase the lubricity of the guide wire surface

0.014” Guidewire

0.014” guidewire is an guidewire that has been designed with the ability to be shaped multiple times and keep its shape during procedures. The hydrophilic coating and flexible shaft help navigate tortuous anatomy, while the stainless steel (and NiTi) core gives excellent support for devices. 0.014”  guidewires are indicated to facilitate the placement of balloon dilatation catheters during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA). PTCA refers to angioplasty performed in the coronary arteries, while PTA refers to angioplasty performed in other arteries. A guidewire is a thin, flexible, medical wire inserted into the body to guide a larger instrument, such as a catheter, central venous line, or feeding tube.
