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).
Superior Vessel NavigationThe guide wire's floppy, flexible tip enables atraumatic advancement within intricate vessel pathways, reducing the risk of trauma during angioplasty. Its precision engineering ensures smooth navigation and kink resistance, making procedures safer and more effective.
Exceptional Torque and ControlHI-TORQUE technology delivers superb responsiveness, allowing operators to steer the wire with accuracy through challenging anatomies. The micro-glide hydrophilic coating minimizes friction, further enhancing ease of manipulation and control during procedures.
Optimal Visibility for AccuracyA radiopaque tip provides excellent fluoroscopic visibility, supporting real-time monitoring and precise wire placement. This feature contributes to reliable outcomes in PTCA and other vascular interventions by enabling clear identification of tip location.
FAQ's of Abbott HI-TORQUE FLOPPY II Guide Wire (300 cm):
Q: How does the HI-TORQUE FLOPPY II Guide Wire facilitate vessel navigation during PTCA procedures?
A: The flexible floppy tip, combined with a hydrophilic polymer coating and HI-TORQUE technology, allows atraumatic advancement and precise control through complex vascular pathways, minimizing vessel injury and improving procedural accuracy.
Q: What is the process for using the Abbott HI-TORQUE FLOPPY II Guide Wire in interventional cardiology?
A: The guide wire is manually introduced into the vessel and navigated toward targeted locations under fluoroscopy. Its radiopaque, hydrophilic-coated tip and torque-responsive core aid maneuverability and placement alongside balloon catheters or microcatheters.
Q: When should the HI-TORQUE FLOPPY II Guide Wire be used, and is it reusable?
A: This guide wire is intended for single-use during PTCA and other vascular interventions, ensuring sterility and performance. It must be disposed of after one procedure as it is not designed for reuse.
Q: Where can this guide wire be stored to maintain its integrity and shelf life?
A: To preserve its sterility and hydrophilic properties, the wire should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Unopened, it maintains a shelf life of up to three years.
Q: What equipment is compatible with the HI-TORQUE FLOPPY II Guide Wire?
A: The guide wire is designed for compatibility with most standard balloon catheters and microcatheters, allowing seamless integration into existing vascular intervention setups.
Q: How does the polymer hydrophilic coating benefit clinical outcomes?
A: The hydrophilic polymer coating creates a smooth, lubricious surface, decreasing resistance during navigation and reducing the risk of vessel trauma, which contributes to safer and more efficient procedures.
Q: What are the advantages of using a radiopaque tip during vascular interventions?
A: The radiopaque tip enhances visualization under fluoroscopy, providing real-time feedback during wire placement and movement. This improves procedural accuracy and supports optimal patient outcomes.
