HI-TORQUE Guide Wires are intended to facilitate the placement of balloon dilatation catheters during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA).
Flexible and Safe Tip DesignThe HI-TORQUE BALANCE MIDDLEWEIGHT Guide Wire offers a flexible, atraumatic tip that is radiopaque for easy visualization under imaging. This ensures accurate positioning and seamless vessel navigation while reducing the risk of vascular injury during complex interventional cardiology procedures.
Advanced Torque ControlEquipped with HI-TORQUE technology and a nitinol core featuring a stainless steel distal soldered coil, this guide wire delivers exceptional torque transmission. Medical professionals experience precise, real-time control, enabling them to navigate tortuous anatomies with confidence and efficiency.
Hydrophilic Coating and Polymer JacketA specialized hydrophilic coating ensures the wire smoothly glides through vessels, while the polymer jacket balances flexibility with robust support. This design enhances patient safety, provides ease of movement, and reduces resistance throughout challenging procedures.
FAQ's of Abbott HI-TORQUE BALANCE MIDDLEWEIGHT Guide Wire (300cm):
Q: How does the HI-TORQUE BALANCE MIDDLEWEIGHT Guide Wire enhance vessel navigation during procedures?
A: With a hydrophilic coating and flexible, atraumatic tip, the guide wire delivers smooth navigation through coronary and peripheral vessels, minimizing trauma. Its excellent torque response allows for precise manipulation, greatly assisting interventional cardiologists in challenging anatomies.
Q: What is the intended use of this guide wire?
A: The Abbott HI-TORQUE BALANCE MIDDLEWEIGHT Guide Wire is primarily intended for use during percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) and other interventional cardiology procedures requiring accurate guidance through coronary or peripheral vasculature.
Q: When should this guide wire be used and by whom?
A: This guide wire is designed for use by medical professionals, including interventional cardiologists, during minimally invasive procedures requiring real-time vessel navigation. It is a sterile, single-use device best suited for complex cardiac or peripheral interventions.
Q: Where can this guide wire be used clinically?
A: It is compatible with standard 6F, 7F, and 8F guide catheters, making it adaptable to multiple clinical environments such as hospitals, cardiac catheterization labs, and vascular interventional suites.
Q: What is the process for handling and storing the guide wire?
A: Each guide wire is individually packaged in a sterile pouch. It should be stored in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight. The wire is ready for single use upon removal from its packaging and should not be resterilized.
Q: What benefits does the HI-TORQUE technology provide in this product?
A: The HI-TORQUE technology offers outstanding rotational response and controlled manipulation, enabling clinicians to steer the guide wire through complex and tortuous vessels with high accuracy and minimal effort.
