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.
Advanced Hydrophilic Coating for Superior PerformanceThe Runthrough NS Hypercoat features Terumo's proprietary hydrophilic coating with hydrophobic transitions, ensuring optimal navigation and smooth passage through complex coronary anatomy. This unique combination enhances trackability and reduces resistance, even in tortuous vessels, enabling interventional cardiologists to achieve precise positioning while minimizing vessel trauma.
Flexible Double Core Design and Precise Tip ControlConstructed with a double core of nitinol and stainless steel, the guidewire offers a 1:1 torque response for reliable maneuverability and stability. Its soft, shapeable tip and radiopaque marker facilitate controlled navigation and clear visualization under fluoroscopy, granting clinicians high confidence during coronary interventions.
FAQ's of Terumo Runthrough NS Hypercoat:
Q: How is the Runthrough NS Hypercoat PTCA guidewire used during coronary intervention procedures?
A: The guidewire is manually advanced through coronary vessels to navigate and cross lesions during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). Its soft, shapeable tip and hydrophilic coating aid smooth movement and precision placement within the vasculature.
Q: What is the main benefit of the Hypercoat hydrophilic and hydrophobic transition coating?
A: The Hypercoat coating provides excellent lubricity, allowing the guidewire to move smoothly through vessels and lesions, while hydrophobic transitions maintain control, especially during complex procedures, ensuring precise and safe navigation.
Q: When should I use a straight vs. an angled tip model?
A: The straight tip model is generally preferred for straightforward vessel paths, while the angled tip model is suitable for accessing difficult or sharply branching vessels. The choice depends on the anatomy encountered during the procedure.
Q: Where can this guidewire be used in terms of catheter compatibility?
A: The guidewire is compatible with 5F to 8F guide catheters, making it suitable for a wide range of coronary interventional setups and compatible with standard PTCA accessories.
Q: What process ensures the sterility of the Runthrough NS Hypercoat guidewire?
A: Each guidewire is sterilized using ethylene oxide (EO) gas and packaged in a sterile blister pack, ensuring it is safe for single-use sterile procedures.
Q: What makes the Runthrough NS Hypercoat highly precise in navigation?
A: Its double core design ensures a 1:1 torque response, while the hydrophilic coating and flexible, shapeable tip allow for high accuracy and ease when crossing even challenging coronary lesions.
Q: How should the guidewire be stored to maintain its shelf life and performance?
A: Store the Runthrough NS Hypercoat in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Proper storage helps maintain its integrity and sterility throughout its approximate three-year shelf life.
