Runthrough NS represents your PTCA guidewire family to cross any workhorse or challenging case. Runthrough NS guidewire family is intended for use in interventional cardiology procedures.
Enhanced Navigation for Complex LesionsDesigned with a floppy, flexible tip and ACT ONE hydrophilic technology, the Runthrough NS Floppy provides superior navigability across tortuous or challenging coronary anatomy. Its moderate support and high kink resistance ensure reliable vessel crossing while minimizing the risk of damage. This makes it an exceptional choice for handling complex lesions during PTCA procedures.
Optimized Compatibility and SafetyThe guide wire pairs seamlessly with PTCA balloon catheters and microcatheters, enhancing procedural workflow. Its radiopaque distal tip offers precise fluoroscopic visibility, allowing clinicians to track wire movement effortlessly. Coupled with ETO sterilization, latex-free material, and a CE mark, the device meets stringent international safety and quality standards.
Reliability and Convenience for Interventional CardiologyEngineered as a single-use product, the Runthrough NS Floppy emphasizes hygiene and eliminates risks of cross-contamination. Its one-piece core stainless steel design ensures consistent torque response and durability. Packaged sterile and lightweight, it is conveniently portable and suitable for diverse clinical settings across India.
FAQs of Terumo Runthrough NS Floppy:
Q: How does the hydrophilic and hydrophobic coating benefit the Runthrough NS Floppy guide wire during procedures?
A: The hydrophilic distal coating allows smooth navigation through vessels by reducing friction, while the hydrophobic proximal segment provides better tactile feedback and control. This combined approach enhances maneuverability and precision during coronary interventions.
Q: What types of devices are compatible with the Runthrough NS Floppy guide wire?
A: This guide wire is compatible with PTCA balloon catheters and microcatheters, making it suitable for a range of interventional cardiology applications that require high vessel access precision.
Q: When should the Runthrough NS Floppy be used in cardiovascular procedures?
A: The Runthrough NS Floppy is specifically designed for use during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures, especially for crossing complex or tortuous coronary lesions where flexibility and accurate navigation are critical.
Q: Where should the Runthrough NS Floppy guide wire be stored prior to use?
A: It should be stored in a cool, dry place to maintain sterility and performance, as recommended by the manufacturer. Proper storage ensures the device remains ready for immediate, safe use.
Q: What process ensures the sterility and safety of the guide wire?
A: Each Runthrough NS Floppy guide wire is ETO sterilized and individually packed in sterile packaging, minimizing infection risks and ensuring compliance with medical safety standards.
Q: How does the radiopaque distal tip improve procedural accuracy?
A: The radiopaque distal tip enhances fluoroscopic visibility, enabling clinicians to monitor and position the guide wire precisely under X-ray, which is crucial for navigating complex coronary anatomy.
Q: What is the expected shelf life and usage type of the Runthrough NS Floppy?
A: The device is intended for single use with an expected shelf life of 2-3 years from the manufacturing date, ensuring reliability and patient safety through one-time use only.
