The ASAHI Fielder FC Frontline Guide Wire with Hydrophilic Coating

The ASAHI Fielder FC Frontline Guide Wire is a classic frontline PTCA coronary guide wire developed by ASAHI, specially designed for complex coronary lesions such as stenosis and tortuous vessels. Constructed with an integrated stainless steel core and polymer jacket, it delivers outstanding slip performance, precise torque transmission and balanced support. The ultra-low 0.8g tip load ensures a soft and atraumatic distal end. A 3 cm platinum-nickel radiopaque segment provides clear visualization under fluoroscopy. Adopting a dual-coating system, the distal long-acting hydrophilic coating reduces intravascular friction, while the proximal PTFE coating guarantees stable pushing. It is available in straight and pre-formed J-tip configurations. With a standard outer diameter of 0.014 inch and two mainstream lengths (180 cm & 300 cm), it easily crosses severe stenosis, diffuse lesions and moderately tortuous vessels. As a preferred primary guide wire for coronary intervention, it is widely applied in coronary angiography, balloon dilatation, stent implantation and other routine & complex procedures.

Product Overview

As a frontline workhorse device for coronary intervention, the ASAHI Fielder FC Guide Wire adopts mature core and coating technologies to balance trackability, crossability and manipulability. The medical-grade stainless steel core features a robust structure with excellent bend and kink resistance, maintaining stable performance during prolonged operations. The 20 cm polymer jacket at the distal end is covered with professional hydrophilic coating, which forms a lubricating film rapidly when contacting body fluid. It effectively reduces friction between the wire and vessel wall, lowering the risks of vascular spasm and endothelial injury. The 3 cm high-visibility radiopaque coil ensures clear fluoroscopic visualization for accurate positioning and depth control. The 0.8g ultra-soft tip conforms naturally to vascular anatomy and adapts to various stenotic pathways. Straight and J-tip options cater to different anatomical conditions. The proximal PTFE coating optimizes push performance and realizes continuous, synchronous torque transmission with sensitive response. With practical specifications and full compatibility with mainstream coronary interventional devices worldwide, this ethylene oxide sterilized single-use device is ideal for routine and complex coronary procedures in catheterization labs of all medical institutions.


Key Highlights

  • Ultra-low Load Soft Tip: 0.8g tip load delivers an atraumatic soft distal end, minimizing vascular injury and spasm for fragile coronary vessels.
  • Superior Slip Performance: The combination of distal hydrophilic coating and polymer jacket provides excellent lubricity to cross severe stenosis and diffuse lesions effortlessly.
  • Precise Torque Transmission: The integrated stainless steel core ensures synchronous and smooth torque response for accurate steering and positioning.
  • Dual-coating System: Distal hydrophilic coating reduces friction, while proximal PTFE coating stabilizes pushing, balancing lubricity and operability.
  • High-visibility Radiopacity: The 3 cm platinum-nickel radiopaque segment ensures clear fluoroscopic imaging for convenient intra-operative positioning and follow-up.
  • Dual Tip Configurations: Straight and pre-formed J-tip options are available to adapt to diverse vascular anatomies and operating habits.
  • Balanced Support & Flexibility: Optimized rigidity and flexibility with reliable kink resistance for moderately tortuous coronary vessels.
  • Universal Compatibility: Standard 0.014 inch outer diameter is fully compatible with mainstream coronary balloons, stents and catheters worldwide.

Typical Clinical Applications

Widely used as a frontline coronary guide wire by interventional cardiologists worldwide, this device is not intended for cerebral vascular procedures. Typical applications are as follows:

  • Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) and Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI)
  • Routine coronary angiography and vascular access establishment
  • Recanalization of severe coronary stenosis, diffuse lesions and moderately tortuous vessels
  • Interventional procedures for coronary bifurcation lesions and complex non-occlusive lesions
  • Delivery and dilatation of balloon catheters, as well as delivery and implantation of coronary stents
  • Device exchange and auxiliary access maintenance during interventions
  • Procedures for fragile coronary vessels that are not suitable for high-penetration guide wires

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Is the ASAHI Fielder FC Guide Wire suitable for moderately tortuous and severely stenotic coronary lesions?

Yes. This guide wire features superior slip performance and balanced flexibility. The 0.8g soft tip is atraumatic, and the dual-coating greatly reduces crossing resistance. It can navigate moderately tortuous vessels and severely stenotic lesions smoothly, serving as the preferred frontline wire for such conditions.

 

2. Can this guidewire be re-sterilized and reused?

No. This is a single-use sterile medical device. Re-sterilization and reuse will damage the hydrophilic coating, polymer jacket and core structure, leading to increased friction and malfunction. It may cause vascular injury and cross-infection. Reuse is strictly prohibited to ensure patient safety.

 

3. Do you support global shipping and bulk orders?

Absolutely. We cooperate with professional international logistics providers to fulfill global B2B bulk orders. OEM services and complete compliance documents are available. Please inform us of your specifications and quantity, and we will provide a customized quote and estimated lead time.
