The HI-TORQUE PILOT 50 Specialty Guide Wire with Hydrophilic Coating

Product Overview

The HI-TORQUE PILOT 50 Guide Wire is meticulously developed for complex coronary and peripheral vascular procedures. It is built with premium DURASTEEL stainless steel core and integrated polyurethane polymer cover, featuring stable structure and excellent bend resistance without deformation during prolonged use. This guide wire adopts a dual-coating system: the distal 25.6 cm section is coated with PVP hydrophilic material, while the proximal section uses PTFE coating to balance lubricity and push stability and minimize the risk of vascular mucosal injury. The 3 cm platinum-nickel radiopaque segment at the distal end provides clear fluoroscopic visibility for real-time monitoring of guide wire position and depth during operations. Equipped with professional parabolic core grind and core-to-tip structure, it achieves lossless torque transmission and synchronous response to manipulation. The soft and shapeable tip maintains stable shape effectively, enabling the wire to cross bifurcation lesions, moderately to severely tortuous vessels, severe stenosis and chronic total occlusions. It is widely used for balloon dilatation, stent delivery and device exchange with consistent and reliable overall performance.

Key Highlights

• Dual Coating System: Distal PVP hydrophilic coating greatly reduces friction, and proximal PTFE coating ensures stable pushing for smooth navigation and less vascular damage.
• Precise Torque Transmission: Core-to-tip design and parabolic core grind deliver 1:1 torque response for accurate steering and easy manipulation.
• Superior Kink Resistance: DURASTEEL stainless steel core and full polymer cover form a robust structure to resist repeated bending for complex vascular access.
• Lightweight Soft Tip: 1.5g low-load soft tip supports manual intraoperative shaping; pre-formed J-shape is optional to enhance procedural safety.
• High-visibility Radiopaque Design: The 3 cm platinum-nickel radiopaque segment ensures clear fluoroscopic visualization and reduces repeated imaging and radiation exposure.
• Excellent Lesion Crossing Capacity: Balanced support and trackability enable efficient crossing of stenosis, tortuous vessels, bifurcation lesions and chronic total occlusions (CTO).
• Universal Device Compatibility: Smooth overall surface is fully compatible with balloons, stents and other interventional devices for steady delivery.

Technical Specifications & Construction

The distal tip can be manually shaped during surgery, and pre-formed J-shape is available as an option. A 3 cm platinum-nickel radiopaque segment is equipped at the distal end for stable and clear fluoroscopic imaging. The guide wire features a uniform standard diameter of 0.014 inch and two mainstream lengths: 190 cm and 300 cm. Sterilized by electron beam, it is a single-use sterile medical device with individual packaging and a 2-year shelf life.

Typical Clinical Applications

Widely adopted as a fundamental guide wire by interventional cardiologists and peripheral vascular specialists, this device is not intended for cerebral vascular procedures. Typical clinical applications are as follows:

• Conventional Coronary PCI (Percutaneous Coronary Intervention) and Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA)
• Peripheral vascular interventions including Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA)
• Balloon passage, vascular dilatation, stent delivery and implantation
• Coronary and peripheral vascular bifurcation lesions, moderately to severely tortuous lesions
• Recanalization of severe stenosis and de novo chronic total coronary occlusions (CTO)
• Establishment of initial vascular access and exchange of diagnostic & interventional devices
