0.035” PTFE Gold Coil Tapered Stainless Exchange Wire for Aortic & Complex Peripheral Endovascular Repair

Lunderquist Extra-Stiff adopts exclusive gradual tapered solid 304 stainless mandrel with segmented 24K gold radiopaque coil, delivering calibrated medium-high shaft stiffness optimized for aortic EVAR/TEVAR rather than ultra-rigid urinary tract support. Full seamless dry PTFE anti-friction outer jacket eliminates pre-saline activation; 4cm/7cm flexible gold-tipped distal segment balances vessel safety and sustained counter-traction during large stent-graft and long sheath exchange in tortuous aortic vasculature.

Product Overview

Developed as aortic-first dedicated exchange guidewire under Cook vascular portfolio, Lunderquist features unique 11cm progressive taper mandrel to distribute stress evenly and reduce kink risk under aortic arch torsion. 15/18cm long gold distal coil delivers superior fluoroscopic visibility vs platinum coils under low-dose radiation, specifically designed for crossover aortic access and multi-stage endograft deployment. Dry PTFE coating avoids hydrophilic coating delamination during repeated long-distance catheter back-and-forth movement. Available in straight, single-curved and double-curved factory preformed tips; manual reshaping is not recommended to prevent gold coil fracture. Limited to aorta, iliofemoral large peripheral arteries; strictly contraindicated for thin-walled coronary, cerebral microvessels and routine ureteral tract dilation.

Key Highlights

  • Gradual 11cm Tapered Solid Stainless Mandrel: Progressive thickness transition evenly disperses traction stress, minimizing kinking within tortuous aortic arch anatomy.
  • Long 24K Gold Radiopaque Distal Coil (15/18cm): Gold alloy coil delivers higher X-ray contrast than platinum, supporting clear lesion tracking under low fluoroscopy radiation protocols.
  • Dual Flexible Gold Tip Options (4cm /7cm): Optional soft distal segments balance anti-perforation safety and sufficient pushability for stiff aortic graft delivery.
  • Full Seamless Dry PTFE Anti-Friction Coating: Uniform Teflon film maintains stable gliding without hydration, resisting abrasion during multiple sheath exchange cycles.
  • Triple Factory Preformed Tip Portfolio (Straight/Single-Curve/Double-Curve): Custom aortic curve profiles eliminate manual bending damage to gold coil structure.

Typical Clinical Applications

Aorta-specialized medium-high stiffness exchange guidewire for vascular surgeons & interventional radiologists, dedicated to aortic endovascular repair and large peripheral artery interventions:

  • EVAR / TEVAR Aortic Stent-Graft Full Deployment & Long Large Sheath Exchange
  • Contralateral Crossover Iliac Access Establishment & Multi-Stage Endograft Adjustment
  • Long Segmental Iliac/Femoral Artery Stenosis Dilator & Big Stent Delivery Support
  • Complex Aortic Arch Tortuous Vessel Straightening & Catheter Counter-Traction
  • Post-Aortic Dissection False Lumen True Lumen Access Navigation

Quality Assurance & Compliance

All Lunderquist Extra-Stiff guidewires are manufactured in Cook Class 1000 sterile production lines, fully compliant with ISO13485, FDA 510 (k) Class II cardiovascular standards and China NMPA imported medical device regulations. Distinct from general peripheral stiff wires, each batch implements exclusive aortic arch cyclic torsion stress test and gold coil bonding durability inspection. Complete stainless mandrel, gold coil and PTFE coating raw material batch archives are permanently retained; every finished wire undergoes single-piece taper rigidity and gold radiopacity inspection before packaging.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What core clinical performance difference between Lunderquist Extra-Stiff and Amplatz Super Stiff guidewire?

Lunderquist adopts gradual tapered mandrel + gold coil, medium-high stiffness designed primarily for aortic EVAR/TEVAR, better low-dose fluoroscopy visibility; Amplatz uses thick flat coil ultra-rigid shaft optimized for heavy urinary tract dilation and large urethral sheath exchange, platinum coil with lower X-ray contrast. Lunderquist is not recommended for percutaneous nephrolith procedures.

 

2. Is manual reshaping permitted for Lunderquist gold distal coil tip?

Not recommended. Manual bending will crack the thin 24K gold coil and cause coil shedding inside aorta; all required vessel curves shall select factory preformed straight/single/double curved models.
