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
