Abstract
A new guidewire constructed from kink-resistant titanium-nickel alloy, polyurethane, and hydrophilic polymer is described. We have used this wire in 119 angiographic and 49 interventional procedures without complications. In numerous applications, it offers significant advantages over other guidewires. It is particularly helpful for angiography and interventional procedures requiring catheterization through markedly tortuous vessels, tight stenoses, or occlusions.Entities:
