FAQs of ASAHI SION PTCA GW 190 cm, Straight:
Q: How is the ASAHI SION PTCA GW 190 cm guidewire used during PTCA procedures?
A: The ASAHI SION PTCA GW is used to navigate coronary or peripheral vessels, cross lesions, and assist in stent delivery during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) procedures. Its hydrophilic tip and radiopaque segment aid precise positioning and smooth advancement through complex vasculature.
Q: What are the main benefits of the hydrophilic tip and composite core design?
A: The hydrophilic tip improves lubricity, enabling the guidewire to glide smoothly through vessels, especially tight or tortuous sections. The composite core construction enhances torque response and provides robust kink resistance, ensuring effective control and reduced risk of procedural interruptions.
Q: When should the ASAHI SION PTCA GW be replaced or disposed of?
A: This guidewire is designed for single use only and should be disposed of after one procedure to maintain patient safety and reduce infection risks. Do not reuse, resterilize, or reprocess the guidewire after initial use.
Q: Where should the ASAHI SION PTCA GW be stored for optimal shelf life?
A: To ensure a full shelf life of 23 years, store the guidewire in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Proper storage in the original sterile, sealed pouch is essential to prevent contamination or damage.
Q: What makes this guidewire compatible with PTCA equipment?
A: The ASAHI SION PTCA GW is crafted to standard dimensions (0.014-inch diameter, 190 cm length) and constructed from medical-grade materials, ensuring seamless compatibility with all major PTCA catheters and devices typically used in interventional cardiology.
Q: Who can use the ASAHI SION PTCA GW guidewire and in what settings?
A: This guidewire is intended for use by trained interventional cardiologists and vascular specialists in hospitals, cardiac centers, or specialized clinics across India and internationally. It is suitable for both coronary and peripheral vessel interventions.
