The Fathom Guidewire combines a nitinol hypotube distal segment with advanced microfabrication technology, creating a design that revolutionizes access of the most tortuous vasculature. If you are interested in the Fathom Guidewire, please contact your local Boston Scientific representative for ordering information.
Turn-for-turn torque control: Unlike conventional guidewires, the nitinol hypotube distal segment is designed to transmit turn-for-turn torque to enhance responsiveness and maneuverability.
Support without compromising flexibility: Advance microfabrication technology allows the hypotube to be diamond-cut with an alternating pattern of microscopic channels. Variations in the channel profiles are designed to provide independent support and flexibility.
Postioning and tracking: Fathom Guidewires have a lubricious hydrophilic coating on the distal segment and PTFE coating on the stainless steel segment, facilitating guidewire placement and catheter tracking.
Enhanced visualization: A platinum/tungsten alloy coil tip is located at the distal tip to help achieve accurate placement.
Fathom Guidewires are designed to address a variety of clinical practice situations and are available in distinct profile configurations for challenging procedures.
