HYBRID Guidewire is a coiled wire that is designed to fit inside a percutaneous microcatheter for the purpose of directing the catheter through a blood vessel. It is used in association with catheters to enable insertion and easier navigation into the intracranial vascular branches for diagnositc or therapeutic use. Guidewires constitute an important element that conditions the success of the operation. They can be pushed and torqued to move forward through patient's tortuous anatomy.
A long, thin, sterile wire intended to be percutaneously placed into the cardiac vasculature (ventricles or coronary vessels) to function as a guide for the introduction, positioning, and/or operation of a device (e.g., catheter, pacing lead); it may also be used in the peripheral vasculature. It may be made of metal (e.g., stainless steel, Nitinol), or polymer and/or glass materials to provide MRI-compatibility, with or without coating, and is available in a variety of distal tip designs. It is used for various diagnostic and interventional procedures, and may include devices used to facilitate manipulation (e.g., torque device). This is a single-use device.
