PTCA Guidewire
Product Features
● Platinum alloy at the end of the PTCA Guidewire has high X-ray visibility.
● There are different models according to the flexibility of the tip.
● Suitable for a wide range of coronary interventions, from simple angioplasty to complex CTO procedures.
● Made from materials like nitinol and platinum, providing strength and flexibility while minimizing the risk of breakage.
Material and structure
● Core wire: Nitinol.
● Coil wire: Stainless steel and platinum.
● Tip: TPU jacket + hydrophilic coating.
Instruction for use
Preparation
● Inspect the guidewire for damage (e.g., bends, coating defects).
● Flush with heparinized saline to lubricate and prevent clotting.
● Select appropriate wire type based on lesion characteristics.
Insertion Technique
● Insert through a guiding catheter already positioned in the coronary ostium.
● Advance the wire under fluoroscopy, rotating gently for better steerability.
● Cross the lesion with careful manipulation (avoid pushing if resistance is high).
● Confirm position distal to the lesion before advancing devices (balloon/stent).
During the Procedure
● Maintain wire position while exchanging devices.
● Avoid excessive movement to prevent vessel injury.
● If resistance is met, reassess wire position-do not force advancement.
Removal
● Slowly retract under fluoroscopy to ensure no tip damage or vessel trauma.
● Inspect the wire post-use for integrity (e.g., fractures, coating separation).
PRODUCT APPLICATION
● Coronary Angioplasty: Used to guide balloon catheters to the site of a blockage in the coronary arteries for dilation.
● Stent Placement: Facilitates the delivery and positioning of stents to keep arteries open.
● Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO) Procedures: Specialized guidewires are used to navigate through completely blocked arteries.
● Diagnostic Angiography: Assists in the placement of catheters for imaging coronary arteries.
