Product Details
Distinct Construction
- Nitinol Core offers a kink-resistant wire shaft for enhanced control
- 5 cm hydrophilic coated floppy tip facilitates access past obstructions and negotiates through tortuous anatomy
- Flat wire stainless steel construction provides a stiff guidewire designed for enhanced instrumentation and device placement
- PFTE coating designed for tactile feedback and offers a smooth wire surface to facilitate advancement and device tracking
- Tungsten-filled radiopaque tip enhances fluoroscopic visualization
Hybrid Wire Performance
- Distal tip stiffness profile transition creates a unique distribution of force, to help advance past tortuous anatomy and impacted stones1-6
- The Coil-to-Core design provides direct tactile feedback which helps communicate movement of the wire back to the surgeon1
Dual-Flex Advantage
- Features a 10cm flexible proximal end to ease passage and minimize the risk of expensive scope damage.1
