Single Use OnlyThe BALANCE MIDDLEWEIGHT (BMW) UNIVERSAL II guide wire is available in two lengths: 190 cm and 300 cm. The 190 cm version can be attached to an extension guidewire. It is offered in two models: with or without markers, differentiated by the welding material at the proximal end. The Universal II features comprehensive upgrades in coating durability, torque control and radiopacity. It retains the core performance including tip flexibility and support of the original version. As an enhanced model, it is more suitable for complex lesions, calcified/tortuous vessels and prolonged procedures.
The distal tip is coated with tungsten-filled polyurethane containing PVP, while the proximal section is covered with hydrophobic PTFE coating. The device consists of proximal core wire, distal core wire, distal coil, proximal coil and safety wire.

The HI-TORQUE COMMAND 18 ST Guide Wire is a hybrid workhorse peripheral guide wire that combines the advantages of nitinol and stainless steel. It features high support, superior kink resistance and long-term durability. Equipped with a 10 cm nitinol segment at the distal end and a flexible tip with 4g tip load, the wire is easy to shape. Adopting parabolic core and transitionless weld design, it delivers highly efficient torque transmission. With balanced pushability, maneuverability and crossing performance, it can effectively cross occlusive lesions and complete subintimal looping procedures, serving as a core workhorse guide wire for lesion crossing and device delivery in peripheral vascular interventions of lower extremities.

The HI-TORQUE COMMAND ES Workhorse Peripheral Guide Wire is a classic hybrid workhorse guide wire. It adopts a composite structure of proximal 304V stainless steel and distal nitinol alloy, delivering robust support, superior kink resistance and long-lasting durability. Featuring core-to-tip design and transitionless fusion weld technology, it achieves full-length 1:1 synchronous torque response for accurate and smooth manipulation. The distal 3 cm platinum-nickel radiopaque coil and long-acting hydrophilic coating greatly reduce friction for smooth advancement. The shapeable nitinol tip maintains stable shape during procedures. It navigates tortuous and stenotic peripheral vessels such as femoral artery, popliteal artery and infra-popliteal artery efficiently, serving as the primary choice for percutaneous transluminal angioplasty, stent implantation and other peripheral interventional procedures.

The HI-TORQUE PILOT 50 Guide Wire is a high-performance guide wire dedicated to coronary and peripheral vascular interventions. Constructed with DURASTEEL high-strength stainless steel core and full polymer cover, it delivers outstanding kink resistance and long-term durability. Adopting core-to-tip design, it realizes 1:1 accurate torque response for sensitive manipulation and stable steering. The distal 3 cm platinum-nickel radiopaque segment and durable PVP hydrophilic coating greatly reduce friction to ensure smooth advancement and withdrawal. With a lightweight 1.5g soft tip that is manually shapeable and optionally pre-formed into J-shape, it combines superior trackability and lesion crossing performance. It is capable of navigating tortuous vessels, severe stenosis and chronic total occlusions (CTO), serving as a primary workhorse guide wire for lesion crossing and device delivery in coronary and peripheral interventional procedures.
