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).
Optimized for Complex Lesion NavigationWith advanced HI-TORQUE technology and a 0.014-inch pre-shaped hydrophilic tip, this guide wire is engineered for accurate navigation through severe or tortuous anatomy. The exceptional flexibility and torque response empower clinicians to safely and efficiently cross complex lesions, reducing procedural time and improving patient outcomes.
Superior Visualization and ControlThe guide wire features radiopaque distal tip and segment, making it highly visible during interventions. The core is constructed from one-piece stainless steel, delivering reliable support and enhanced control. Compatibility with standard catheter systems ensures seamless integration into diverse interventional setups.
Reliable Sterility and PackagingAbbott's guide wire is sterile, supplied in individually packed units, and maintains safety through ethylene oxide (EO) gas sterilization. Designed for single use, its shelf life extends up to three years. Proper storage in cool, dry conditions supports product integrity and optimal performance.
FAQ's of Abbott HI-TORQUE PILOT 150 Guide Wires (190 cm):
Q: How does the hydrophilic coating benefit the guide wire during procedures?
