0.014” Dual-Core Tungsten Radiopaque Wire for Coronary PTCA & Peripheral PTA

Product Overview

As mid-strength benchmark of PT² guidewire portfolio, Moderate Support variant is developed for universal daily coronary and peripheral interventional scenarios, differentiated from Light Support ultra-soft model by enhanced shaft resilience for mild resistant lesions. The 30cm full tungsten-doped polymer outer sleeve integrated with proprietary ICE lubricant forms persistent low-friction film after repeated lesion crossing, with 2cm terminal moldable zone reserved for customized vessel matching. Linear elastic nitinol distal segment serves as core anti-kink structure to prevent shaft buckling under moderate vessel torsion; proximal PTFE coating cuts friction during catheter back-and-forth exchange. Equipped with continuous tungsten radiopacity without metal spring coil, the wire delivers clear lesion positioning under routine fluoroscopy. This device is strictly contraindicated for all cerebral neurovascular interventional operations.

Key Highlights

• Dual-Segment Hybrid Core with INCONEL Transition Joint: Proximal rigid stainless steel provides stable rail support, distal linear elastic nitinol suppresses kinking under vessel bending.
• 30cm Full Tungsten-Doped Polymer Sleeve with Exclusive ICE Coating: Long continuous lubrication segment retains slippage after multiple serial stenosis passage without coating peeling.
• Continuous Tungsten Radiopacity Without Metal Spring Coil: Uniform X-ray visibility across full distal working zone, no imaging blind spot compared with segmented platinum coil wires.
• Moderate Balanced Rail Support Profile: Optimized shaft hardness matches standard bare metal & drug-eluting stents as well as semi-compliant balloon delivery workflows.
• Limited 2cm Distal Shapeable Zone: Restricted molding range prevents excessive tip stiffness that triggers arterial dissection in fragile vasculature.

Technical Specifications & Construction

Two factory tip options: manually shapeable straight tip / factory pre-formed gentle J tip; only the terminal 2cm of distal sleeve supports secondary manual shaping; 30cm tungsten-doped polymer outer sleeve coated with ICE hydrophilic lubricant, proximal shaft covered by wear-resistant PTFE jacket.

Typical Clinical Applications

Universal daily workhorse guidewire for general interventional cardiologists and peripheral vascular surgeons, suitable for mild-complex coronary & peripheral PTA procedures:

• Elective Single-Vessel Routine Coronary PTCA & Stent Implantation
• Mild Tortuous Vessel & Simple True Coronary Bifurcation Lesion Crossing
• Non-Calcified / Mild Calcified Serial Coronary Stenosis Tracking
• Femoral & Iliac Artery Mild Stenosis PTA & Balloon Dilatation
• Initial Wire Navigation for Routine Diagnostic Coronary & Peripheral Angiography

Quality Assurance & Compliance

All PT² Moderate Support guidewires are manufactured within FDA/CE certified cardiovascular clean production lines under full ISO13485 QMS control. Beyond standard torsion fatigue and coating friction testing, each batch undergoes exclusive dual-core bending durability and tungsten radiopacity stability inspection.
