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).
Exceptional Flexibility and ControlThe HI-TORQUE FLOPPY II Guide Wire excels in navigating the intricate branches of coronary arteries. Its advanced HI-TORQUE technology, combined with a flexible floppy tip, allows for precise manipulation and reduced risk of vessel trauma, which can enhance procedural outcomes for interventional cardiologists.
Superior Visibility and TrackabilityEquipped with a radiopaque tip, the guide wire provides outstanding fluoroscopic visibility during procedures. Enhanced trackability is achieved through the lubricious polymer jacket, ensuring smooth advancement through tortuous or narrowed vessels and supporting accurate device placement.
Efficient and Safe UsageSterilized using ethylene oxide and packaged individually, the guide wire supports single-use applications, minimizing infection risk. Its lightweight, portable design allows for efficient handling in various clinical settings, thus supporting rapid deployment in time-sensitive cardiac interventions.
FAQ's of Abbott HI-TORQUE FLOPPY II Guide Wire (190 cm):
Q: How should the Abbott HI-TORQUE FLOPPY II Guide Wire be stored to maintain optimal performance?
A: To ensure product integrity and performance, store the guide wire in a cool, dry environment, away from direct sunlight. Maintaining these conditions helps maximize its three-year shelf life and guarantees reliable performance when needed.
Q: What makes the HI-TORQUE FLOPPY II suitable for complex coronary interventions?
A: Its solid stainless steel core offers high torque response, while the atraumatic floppy tip enhances flexibility and reduces the risk of vessel injury. The hydrophilic/lubricious coating ensures smooth passage through challenging vascular anatomy, making it an excellent choice for complex procedures.
Q: When is this guide wire typically used during PCI procedures?
A: The HI-TORQUE FLOPPY II Guide Wire is used during the navigation phase of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to access and traverse the coronary arteries, especially when maneuvering through tight lesions or tortuous vessels in adult patients.
Q: Where can this guide wire be purchased or sourced in India?
A: Healthcare institutions, interventional cardiology departments, or authorized medical supply channels in India-such as dealers, distributors, exporters, manufacturers, suppliers, traders, or wholesalers-can provide the HI-TORQUE FLOPPY II Guide Wire.
Q: What is the process for using the HI-TORQUE FLOPPY II Guide Wire during an intervention?
A: After confirming sterility and compatibility, the guide wire is carefully introduced through the guiding catheter. It is then skillfully manipulated through the coronary arteries under fluoroscopy, allowing for precise navigation to the target lesion before deploying other devices, such as balloons or stents.
Q: How does the radiopaque tip benefit the procedure?
A: The radiopaque tip provides superior fluoroscopic visibility, allowing clinicians to track the wire's exact position in real time. This feature ensures accurate navigation and minimizes the risk of vessel perforation or procedural complications.
