This product is comprised of a stainless steel core wire with distal platinum tungsten coil and proximal stainless steel coil, and includes a shaping mandrel and a torque device. The guidewire distal tip is straight and shapeable. The diameters of the guidewires are listed in the table below. The guidewires are compatible with devices with inner diameters (IDs) specified in the table below. The distal 30 mm of the guidewire tip is radiopaque. Confirm the compatibility of the guidewire diameter with the interventional device before use.For lubricity, the distal 300 mm of the device is coated with hydrophilic coating and the proximal portion of the guidewire is coated with hydrophobic polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).The shaping mandrel included with the guidewire can be used to shape the tip of the guidewire as appropriate. When shaping the tip, carefully crimp it while the surface is wet. The torque device included with the guidewire attaches to the proximal end of the wire and functions as a steering guide. Rotation of the torque device facilitates guidewire placement into the target vessel by manipulation of the guidewire tip.
A non-bioabsorbable, implantable device intended to induce a neurovascular thrombosis to treat an intracranial aneurysm and/or neurovascular arteriovenous malformation (AVM); it may also be intended to treat non-neurovascular malformations. It is in the form of a metal [e.g., platinum alloy] or metal/synthetic polymer wire which coils upon deployment within the aneurysm/vasculature; it is typically pre-attached to a nonimplantable delivery wire. Disposable devices associated with implantation (e.g., delivery wire, catheter) may be included.
