Hi-Torque Guide Wire is intended to facilitate the placement of balloon dilatation catheters during percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA), in arteries such as the femoral, popliteal and infra-popliteal arteries. This guide wire may also be used with compatible stent devices during therapeutic procedures.
Optimized for Complex AnatomyThis guide wire is specifically crafted to navigate tortuous vascular paths encountered in interventional cardiology procedures. Its hydrophilic PTFE coating facilitates smooth passage, while the stainless steel core promotes exceptional torque response and kink resistance. The available straight and angled tip designs offer flexibility in approaching different anatomical challenges.
Superior Visibility and ControlThe distal tip of the Command ES Guide Wire is radiopaque, allowing clear fluoroscopic visualization during navigation. High-precision engineering gives clinicians superior control, supporting accurate wire placement and enhanced procedural outcomes. Its lightweight and portable form factor further aids ease of use in busy cath labs.
Safe, Reliable, and CompliantEach guide wire is sterile and intended for single use, minimizing infection risks. It complies with international safety standards and is delivered in an individual foil pouch for integrity and prompt application. With a two-year shelf life and robust construction, it offers a reliable solution for cardiovascular interventions across India and beyond.
FAQs of Abbott Hi-Torque Command ES Guide Wires:
Q: How is the Abbott Hi-Torque Command ES Guide Wire primarily utilized in clinical procedures?
A: This device is used to expertly navigate through the coronary vasculature during angioplasty and stenting, enabling precise delivery of interventional devices in complex cardiovascular anatomy.
Q: What are the main benefits of the hydrophilic PTFE coating?
A: The hydrophilic PTFE coating greatly reduces friction, allowing smoother wire navigation through vessels while enhancing control and minimizing vessel trauma during procedures.
Q: When should I choose between the straight and angled tip designs?
A: Straight tips are chosen for straightforward vessel paths, while angled tips assist in accessing side branches or highly tortuous anatomy, offering versatility for different procedural needs.
Q: Where is the wires radiopaque tip visibility most advantageous?
A: The radiopaque distal tip is particularly beneficial during fluoroscopic imaging in interventional cardiology procedures, providing clear visualization for accurate placement inside the vasculature.
Q: What is the process for preparing and using the guide wire?
A: Remove the sterile, single-use guide wire from its individual foil pouch, maintaining aseptic technique. It is ready-to-use and should be carefully introduced into the vasculature under imaging guidance.
Q: What storage conditions are recommended for optimal shelf life?
A: Store the guide wire in a cool, dry place within its original sterile packaging. This maintains device integrity and ensures the two-year shelf life is preserved.
Q: Who can supply or distribute the Abbott Hi-Torque Command ES Guide Wire in India?
A: Authorized dealers, distributors, exporters, manufacturers, suppliers, traders, and wholesalers are available across India to facilitate procurement of this guide wire for clinical use.
