HI-TORQUE Guide Wire is intended to facilitate the delivery of catheter-based interventional devices during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA). This guide wire may also be used with compatible stent devices during therapeutic procedures. The guide wire may also be used to reach and cross a target lesion, provide a pathway within the vessel structure, facilitate the substitution of one diagnostic or interventional device for another, and to distinguish the vasculature.
Exceptional Navigation and PrecisionThe HI-TORQUE CROSS-IT 200XT is designed for superior accuracy in navigating challenging vascular pathways. Its hydrophilic full-length coating and shapeable tapered tip provide optimal flexibility and control, making it ideal for crossing complex, tortuous lesions where precision is vital. The 3 cm radiopaque distal tip enhances visualization for real-time, confident procedures.
Advanced Material and TechnologyConstructed with a high-strength nitinol core and hydrophilic polymer jacket, this guide wire offers a unique combination of durability and low-friction performance. Abbotts HI-TORQUE technology ensures outstanding torque response, which facilitates smooth device advancement and reliable navigation, enhancing operator control during peripheral vascular interventions.
Reliable Sterility and Shelf LifeEach guide wire is ethylene oxide sterilized, individually packaged to prevent contamination, and intended for single use. It boasts a shelf life of up to three years (refer to the product packaging for exact expiry), with storage requiring a cool, dry environment and an intact package to maintain sterility and integrity.
FAQs of Abbott HI-TORQUE CROSS-IT 200XT Guide Wires:
Q: How does the Abbott HI-TORQUE CROSS-IT 200XT guide wire enhance navigation during complex procedures?
A: The CROSS-IT 200XT features a tapered, shapeable, radiopaque tip with a full-length hydrophilic coating, providing superior flexibility and high precision navigation. Its excellent torque transmission helps clinicians cross complex or tortuous vascular lesions with enhanced control and safety.
Q: What is the recommended usage process for this guide wire?
A: The wire is intended for single use and should be extracted from its sterile package just prior to the procedure. It is manually operated and compatible with standard PCI devices and microcatheters for interventional cardiology and radiology vascular access and navigation.
Q: When should the HI-TORQUE CROSS-IT 200XT be used in clinical practice?
A: This guide wire is especially beneficial for cases requiring access through complex and tortuous vascular lesions, such as peripheral artery interventions. It is suitable for both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures involving precise navigation through challenging vasculature.
Q: Where can the HI-TORQUE CROSS-IT 200XT be stored to ensure product integrity?
A: To maintain sterility and product performance, store the guide wire in a cool, dry place. Always keep the original packaging intact until use and avoid exposure to moisture or excessive heat.
Q: What makes the hydrophilic coating beneficial for interventional procedures?
A: The hydrophilic coating reduces surface friction over the entire length of the wire, improving trackability and ease of navigation within vessels. This facilitates smoother passage through tight or curved segments and helps minimize vessel trauma.
Q: How long is the HI-TORQUE CROSS-IT 200XT guide wires shelf life, and how is it sterilized?
A: The guide wire can be stored for up to three years, provided the packaging is intact. It is sterilized using ethylene oxide, ensuring its suitability for use in sterile environments.
Q: What are the key features that distinguish this guide wire from others?
A: Key features include its soft, shapeable tip, full-length hydrophilic coating, high torque transmission, nitinol core for durability, and 3 cm radiopaque distal tip for enhanced visibilityall contributing to improved trackability and precise vessel navigation.
