Overview
The performance characteristics of Asahi Prowater And Prowater Flex guidewires are as follows:
Strcture
- This is a relatively safe guide wire with moderate support.
- Has a hybrid Coating: Soft hydrophobic tip & hydrophilic working coils. Hydrophilic coating maximizes lubricity to navigate anatomy and hydrophobic coating designed to enhance tactile feel.
- Uses “TruTorq” technology - a design that fuses stainless steel to platinum spring coils via a single-joint. (claimed to afford the improved torque response and steerability seen with this wire.)
- Tip load: 0.8 g
- Radiopaque length: 3 cm
- Outside diameter: 0.014"
- Total length: 180 cm, 300 cm
