FAQ's of Terumo Radifocus Guide Wire M Stiff Type:
Q: How does the hydrophilic M-coating on the Terumo Radifocus Guide Wire benefit vascular procedures?
A: The hydrophilic M-coating significantly reduces friction, allowing the guide wire to glide smoothly through blood vessels. This results in easier navigation, enhanced steerability, and reduced risk of vessel trauma during complex catheterization or angiography procedures.
Q: What tip types are available for the Terumo Radifocus Guide Wire M Stiff Type?
A: The guide wire is available with either an angled or straight tip, depending on the specific model. This allows clinicians to choose the most suitable tip configuration for the targeted vascular anatomy and procedural requirements.
Q: When should I use the stiff shaft variant of the Terumo Radifocus Guide Wire?
A: The stiff shaft version is recommended for cases where strong support and precise manipulation are crucial, such as navigating tortuous or resistant vessels, facilitating catheter advancement, and maintaining guide wire stability during vascular interventions.
Q: Where is this guide wire mainly utilized in clinical practice?
A: This guide wire is widely used in interventional radiology, vascular access, angiography, peripheral, coronary, and neurovascular procedures. Its versatility and compatibility make it a preferred choice across various hospital departments.
Q: What process ensures the sterility and safety of each guide wire?
A: Each Terumo Radifocus Guide Wire M Stiff Type is sterilized using Ethylene Oxide (EO) and individually packaged in a protocol-sealed sterile pouch. The product should remain in its original packaging until the time of use to ensure sterility.
Q: How should the guide wire be stored and what is its shelf life?
A: The guide wire should be stored in a dry environment, away from direct sunlight, and kept in its original, unopened packaging. When stored correctly, it maintains sterility and optimal performance for up to three years from the manufacturing date.
