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.
Unmatched Navigability and FlexibilityEngineered with a soft, hydrophilic-coated tip and high flexibility, the ASAHI CHIKAI black 14 effortlessly advances through tortuous vasculature. Its hydrophilic surface minimizes resistance, ensuring smooth, precise navigation during complex neurovascular or peripheral interventions.
Enhanced Visibility and ControlThe guidewires black core technology, combined with radiopaque markers, provides clear visibility under fluoroscopy. This feature aids clinicians in accurate placement and improved torque control, even in demanding anatomical landscapes.
Optimal Safety and CompatibilityWith a single-use, sterile design, this device reduces procedural risk. Its compatibility with a wide range of microcatheters and delivery systems, along with its kink resistance, makes it a reliable instrument for both experienced and new users.
FAQs of ASAHI CHIKAI black 14 soft tip:
Q: How does the hydrophilic coating benefit the use of the ASAHI CHIKAI black 14 soft tip guidewire?
A: The hydrophilic coating significantly reduces friction between the guidewire and vessel walls, allowing for smoother navigation through difficult or tortuous vessels. This enhances procedural efficiency and helps minimize vessel trauma.
Q: What are the advantages of the soft, hydrophilic-coated tip?
A: The soft tip is designed for atraumatic vessel access, reducing the risk of endothelial injury as the guidewire is advanced. The hydrophilic coating on the tip further ensures delicate handling, especially in neurovascular and peripheral procedures.
Q: When should I use the ASAHI CHIKAI black 14 guidewire?
A: This micro guidewire is ideal during neurovascular and peripheral vascular interventions, particularly when navigating challenging or highly tortuous vessels where flexibility, trackability, and reduced friction are essential.
Q: Where can the ASAHI CHIKAI black 14 be utilized?
A: The guidewire can be used in both hospital and interventional radiology lab settings, specifically for neurovascular and peripheral vascular procedures requiring microcatheter guidance.
Q: What is the process of using this guidewire with delivery systems?
A: Simply remove the sterile, single-use guidewire from its packaging, insert it into the chosen microcatheter or delivery system, and advance it manually under imaging guidance to the desired anatomical location.
Q: What are the key benefits of the black core technology and radiopaque markers?
A: Black core technology provides enhanced support and torque control, while radiopaque markers ensure high visibility under fluoroscopy, facilitating accurate navigation and device placement.
Q: How should the ASAHI CHIKAI black 14 be stored and what is its shelf life?
A: Store the guidewire in a cool, dry place as per the instructions. It comes in sterile packaging and has a shelf life of three years from the date of manufacture.
