The ASAHI CHIKAI Neurovascular Guide Wires are intended to be used in the neurovasculature to facilitate the placement and exchange of therapeutic devices such as cerebral catheters during intravascular therapy. These guide wires are intended for use only in the neurovasculature.
Enhanced Navigational PerformanceCHIKAI 10 delivers exceptional torque control and flexibility, allowing physicians to safely and accurately guide microcatheters through intricate intracranial and peripheral vessels. Its hydrophilic coating ensures low friction, reducing procedural risks and improving navigation efficiency during complex interventions.
Advanced Safety and UsabilityWith a shapeable, radiopaque tip and nitinol core, the ASAHI CHIKAI 10 offers real-time feedback and visibility to facilitate precise device placement. Pre-sterilized and ready to use, each guidewire is individually packaged for single use, supporting infection control and streamlined procedural workflow.
FAQ's of ASAHI CHIKAI 10:
Q: How is the ASAHI CHIKAI 10 guidewire used during neurovascular or peripheral interventions?
A: The ASAHI CHIKAI 10 is inserted manually into the vascular system via an access point, where its high flexibility and hydrophilic coating allow microcatheters and devices to be smoothly navigated to targeted intracranial or peripheral locations.
Q: What benefits does the shapeable radiopaque tip provide for physicians?
A: The shapeable radiopaque tip enhances visualization under imaging, allowing physicians to tailor the wire's shape for specific anatomical challenges and to confirm precise placement during real-time procedures.
Q: When should the ASAHI CHIKAI 10 be used in clinical practice?
A: Use the ASAHI CHIKAI 10 in situations requiring intracranial and peripheral vessel access, especially for procedures demanding accurate and easy microcatheter navigation with consistent torque responsiveness.
Q: Where should the ASAHI CHIKAI 10 guidewire be stored prior to use?
A: It should be stored in a cool, dry environment, away from direct sunlight, to maintain sterility and the integrity of its hydrophilic coating throughout its shelf life of three years.
Q: What is the process for preparing and deploying the ASAHI CHIKAI 10 guidewire?
A: Simply open the individual blister pack using aseptic technique, confirm sterility, then insert the guidewire directly through the appropriate microcatheter (with a 0.014-inch inner lumen) for the planned procedure.
Q: What advantages does the hydrophilic coating offer during vessel access?
A: The hydrophilic coating reduces friction, making both intracranial and peripheral passage smoother and minimizing the risk of vessel trauma during device navigation.
