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.

Single Use OnlyThe HI-TORQUE COMMAND 18 ST Hybrid Workhorse Guide Wire is meticulously developed for complex peripheral vascular procedures. The proximal part adopts high-tensile 304V stainless steel core to provide powerful torque, pushability and overall support, while the 10 cm Elastinite nitinol segment at the distal end enhances flexibility and kink resistance, forming a hybrid structure with matched rigidity and softness. The flattened shapeable nitinol tip can maintain stable shape after repeated shaping and looping, reducing the frequency of guide wire replacement during operations. The distal polymer jacket is coated with hydrophilic material and the proximal section is covered with PTFE coating, which significantly reduces intravascular friction for smooth tracking. Benefiting from core-to-tip design and transitionless weld technology, it achieves 1:1 accurate torque response, enabling precise manipulation, lesion crossing and stable delivery of interventional devices in complex peripheral vessels above and below the knee.
The distal tip is shapeable with optional pre-formed J-shape. Radiopaque markers are precisely arranged at the distal end for clear fluoroscopic visibility during operation.

Yes. Equipped with a 10 cm nitinol segment and a 4g flexible tip, this guide wire has strong overall support and excellent tip shape retention. It can efficiently cross occlusive and severely stenotic lesions, and stably complete complex operations such as subintimal looping, making it an ideal choice for peripheral vessel recanalization.
No. This device is strictly designated for Single Use Only. Re-sterilization and reuse will damage the hydrophilic coating, hybrid core structure and tip shape performance, and greatly increase clinical risks such as vascular injury and infection. Reuse is prohibited to ensure patient safety.
Absolutely. We partner with reliable international logistics providers to fulfill global B2B orders. Please reach out with your required volume for a customized quote and lead time estimate.
