INTENDED USE/INDICATIONS FOR USE

They are not intended for use in the coronary or cerebral vasculature.

The hydrophilic coating of these guidewires increases the possibility of vessel wall perforation compared to non-hydrophilic coatings.

PRECAUTIONS

Carefully check and match therapeutic device compatibility to the wire prior to use.
