Radifocus™ Glidewire Advantage™

Guide Wire

Description

Take more Advantage

Glidewire Advantage is dedicated to all peripheral intervention levels, from sheath placement to ilio-femoro-popliteal and below-the-knee treatments.
It combines maneuverability, crossability and device support to reach and cross the target lesion.

The addition of RadifocusTM Glidewire Advantage Track™ to your LOWER LIMB toolkit provides you with additional performance4, for your most challenging cases.

Characteristics

Superior Tactile Feedback1

  • Proximal spiral-cut PTFE structure enables a firm grip on guidewire shaft for steerability and comfortable handling

Best in Class Trackability2,3

  • Distal 25 cm of the original Radifocus Guide Wire M gives you the M CoatTM performance you trust

Improved Crossability1

  • More pushability and kink resistance with extra stiff proximal Nitinol shaft, even in complex lesions

Improved Platform for Interventional Devices1

  • Extra stiff Nitinol shaft provides additional device support
  • Proximal spiral PTFE coating limits surface contact within catheter lumen, reducing friction and improving trackability over the guidewire

Glidewire Advantage TrackTM

Advanced Pushability4

  • Extra-stiff stainless-steel proximal core shaft and high deformation resistance to cross and treat above-the-knee (ATK), below-the-knee (BTK) and below-the-ankle (BTA) complex lesions.

Additional Device Support4

  • The new proximal stainless-steel core in combination with the spiral cut PTFE cover contributes to device deliverability and control.

Best-In-Class Tip Durability4

  • High deformation resistance and shape retention1 of distal nitinol shaft to navigate through small and tortuous vessels and treat challenging lesions while retaining the tip shape.

Advantage Trackability4

  • The distal hydrophilic M COAT yields lubricity to support ease of progression through vessels. The seamless fusion of proximal and distal core materials enhances the torque response and steerability to navigate anatomy of the vasculature.
