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).
Outstanding Navigational PrecisionThanks to its hydrophilic polymer coating and HI-TORQUE technology, the VERSATURN Guide Wire provides excellent trackability and high torque transmission. Radiopaque segments within the wire tip further enhance its navigation, making precise placement under fluoroscopy easier during challenging procedures.
Designed for Safety and Ease of UseEach wire is insulated in sterile, individually blister packaging to safeguard against contamination and physical damage. Its atraumatic, shapeable tip helps reduce vascular injury risk during device advancement, while a latex-free build ensures patient safety for sensitive individuals.
Versatile Clinical CompatibilityThe HI-TORQUE VERSATURN is engineered to facilitate device delivery in various interventions, including cardiology, peripheral vascular, and coronary procedures. Compatible with standard interventional equipment and available in different sizes, it adapts to broad clinical requirements, supporting healthcare providers across different specialties.
FAQ's of Abbott HI-TORQUE VERSATURN Guide Wire:
Q: How does the HI-TORQUE VERSATURN Guide Wire enhance procedure navigation?
A: The guide wire features a hydrophilic polymer coating and an optimized shaft for high torque response, delivering smooth navigation and precise vessel access, even through tortuous anatomy. Its radiopaque tip ensures excellent visibility for real-time imaging under fluoroscopy.
Q: What benefits does the hydrophilic coating provide during procedures?
A: The hydrophilic coating significantly reduces friction, enabling smoother and easier advancement through narrow or curved vessels. This minimizes the risk of vessel trauma and allows for more controlled device delivery.
Q: When and where should the HI-TORQUE VERSATURN Guide Wire be used?
A: It is intended for use in coronary and peripheral vascular interventions, commonly performed in catheterization labs and advanced interventional suites within hospitals and clinics.
Q: What is the process for using this guide wire in interventional procedures?
A: The wire is inserted into the access vessel and navigated to the target site under fluoroscopic guidance. Its torqueable shaft allows clinicians to steer accurately, facilitating passage of balloons, stents, or other interventional devices.
Q: How is the guide wire packaged to maintain sterility and integrity?
A: Each HI-TORQUE VERSATURN Guide Wire is individually blister packed, providing robust shielding against contamination and physical damage until ready for single use in sterile operating environments.
Q: What compatibility does this guide wire offer with interventional devices?
A: It is designed for compatibility with standard interventional devices such as catheters and balloons, making it suitable for a wide range of cardiac and vascular procedures.
Q: What is the recommended way to store the HI-TORQUE VERSATURN Guide Wire, and what is its shelf life?
A: Store the wire in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maximize its shelf life, which is up to 3 years from the date of manufacture.
