0.014” Full Polymer Hydrophilic Guidewire for Distal Tiny Branches & Mild Sub-Total Occlusion

Product Overview

Positioned as the softest entry-level wire in PILOT three-grade portfolio, PILOT 50 is engineered exclusively for delicate coronary micro-anatomy instead of heavy calcified complete CTO. Its uniform mild taper stainless core balances minimal shaft stiffness and basic trackability, effectively resisting kinking within sharp distal vessel bends. The full polymer distal hydrophilic layer forms persistent aqueous lubrication film during repeated lesion crossing without rapid coating shedding. Standard straight or factory pre-shaped J tip supports flexible manual secondary shaping, while 3cm integrated platinum coil ensures continuous fluoroscopic visualization for short distal lesion segments. Clinically prioritized for elderly patients with thin coronary intima, tortuous side branches and sub-total stenosis, it avoids excessive penetration force that may trigger dissection or perforation. This wire is contraindicated for cerebral neurovascular intervention and rotational atherectomy matching.

Key Highlights

• Industry Standard 1.3g Minimal Tip Load Design: Low contact pressure drastically cuts endothelial injury risk when navigating thin fragile distal coronary branches.
• Parabolic DURASTEEL Stainless Steel Core Construction: Smooth gradient taper eliminates rigid transition points to prevent shaft buckling inside narrow distal lumens.
• Continuous Distal Full Polymer Hydrophilic Coating: Extended lubrication segment maintains stable slippage during long-distance micro-branch tracking.
• 3cm Uninterrupted Platinum-Nickel Radiopaque Spring Coil: Extended marker length achieves full boundary positioning for tiny distal stenoses under low-dose fluoroscopy.
• Core-To-Tip Seamless Torque Transmission Architecture: Lag-free directional steering without sudden wire jump during subtle manipulation of delicate microvessels.

Technical Specifications & Construction

Two factory tip options: manually reshaping straight tip & standard pre-formed J tip; full hydrophilic polymer cladding covers the distal working segment, proximal shaft adopts wear-resistant PTFE hydrophobic outer jacket; 3cm continuous platinum-nickel radiopaque coil fixed at distal end for real-time lesion tracking.

Typical Clinical Applications

Specialized low-trauma navigation wire for high-precision distal coronary PCI with high vessel safety requirements, applicable to 5 core mild & delicate lesion scenarios:

• Navigation & Micro-Stent Delivery for Tortuous Distal Coronary Side Branch Lesions
• Atraumatic True Lumen Crossing for Coronary Sub-Total Stenosis & Mild Partial CTO
• Minimally Invasive PCI for Geriatric Patients with Thin Coronary Endothelium
• Dual Tiny Side Branch Simultaneous Angiography Guidance in Complex Bifurcation Lesions
• Initial Wire Access for Non-Calcified Long Distal Serial Stenosis

Quality Assurance & Compliance

Every batch of HI-TORQUE PILOT 50 undergoes exclusive low tip-load biocompatibility simulation test and thin-vessel cyclic torsion fatigue inspection, separate from PILOT 150/200 heavy penetration test standards. All production lines comply with FDA Class III cardiovascular device regulations, CE MDR and domestic NMPA ISO13485 QMS; raw material coating adhesion, stainless core torsion stability and tip softness are inspected one by one for each finished wire.
