InQwire® diagnostic guide wires are pre-coated with PTFE over the entire wire surface for smooth, consistent coverage that resists flaking. Less friction means increased trackability, lubricity, and durability. The precise J-tip memory does not require reloading the J-straightener, and tight guide wire tolerances ensure catheter and sheath compatibility. Also available with heparin coating to minimize clot formation.
Key Features
- Finger-straightenable — Does not require reloading the J-straightener.
- Precise J-tip memory — Consistent wire performance throughout the procedure.
- Dimensional control — Tight tolerances ensure catheter and sheath compatibility.
- Smooth surface — Less friction with increased tracking and consistent performance.
- Improved durability — Consistent performance after multiple catheter exchanges.
- Reduced insertion force — Less force required for wire passage through catheters, aiding wire stability and positioning.
- Heparin-coated option — Minimizes likelihood of blood clot formation on the guide wire.
Accessories Included
- Flush Hoop — Luer lock flush port with rotating tip protection; simplifies wire flushing and maximizes back table space.
- J-Straightener — Thumb indentation with flexible materials, enlarged funnel-shaped proximal opening for faster wire loading.
- Ringmaster Basin — Keeps wires hydrated, separates wires for easy selection, holds catheters and wires; bright color for low-light visibility.
