Description
Hybrid Technology For Outstanding Performance
Glidewire Advantage is dedicated to all peripheral intervention levels, from sheath placement to ilio-femoro-popliteal and below-the-knee treatments.
It combines maneuverability, crossability and device support to reach and cross the target lesion.
Characteristics
Superior Tactile Feedback1
- Proximal spiral-cut PTFE structure enables a firm grip on guidewire shaft for steerability and comfortable handling
Best in Class Trackability2,
- Distal 25 cm of the original Radifocus Guide Wire M gives you the M CoatTM performance you trust
Improved Crossability1
- More pushability and kink resistance with extra stiff proximal Nitinol shaft, even in complex lesions
Improved Platform for Interventional Devices1
- Extra stiff Nitinol shaft provides additional device support
- Proximal spiral PTFE coating limits surface contact within catheter lumen, reducing friction and improving trackability over the guidewire
