Overview
Standard length : 175-190 cm Exchange length : 270-400 cm
If using a standard length wire and need an exchange length wire, use a docking system to mount another standard length wire
(caution – docking joint is prone to “snapping” when bent, also the docking joint may give way)
When using an exchange length wire and delivering a balloon or a stent, a magnet may be used to hold the wire in place. (preferably this is a two operator procedure. )
