Q

What are the primary benefits of the Glidewire’s nitinol core?

A

It makes it kink resistant/durable for long cases and flexible for vessel navigation.

Q

What are the primary benefits of the Glidewire’s polyurethane jacket with tungsten?

A

It provides radiopacity/visibility, and enhances trackability through tortuosity via its smooth surface.

16
Q

What does SUPPORT refer to when discussing Glidewire?

A

The nitinol core because it provides optimal kink resistance and superior tip shape retention.

17
Q

What does TORQUE refer to when discussing Glidewire?

A

The core-to-tip design which allows for greater 1:1 movement between the proximal and distal portions of the wire.

18
Q

What does LUBRICITY refer to when discussing Glidewire?

A

Smooth vessel navigation from the hydrophilic coating and smooth polyurethane jacket.

19
Q

What does RADIOPACITY refer to when discussing Glidewire?

A

Superior visibility under fluor via the incorporated Tungsten.

20
Q

What diameters does Glidewire come in?

A

Primarily: 035 / 018 / 014
Secondarily: 038 / 032 / 025

21
Q

What shaft types does Glidewire come in?

A

STIFF
REGULAR

22
Q

What 3 tip shapes does Glidewire come in?

A

Angle
Straight
J-Tip

23
Q

What are the taper lengths that Glidewire comes in?

A

1cm / 3cm / 5cm / 8cm

24
Q

What wire lengths does Glidewire come in?

A

80cm / 120cm / 150cm
180cm / 260cm / 350cm
400cm / 450cm

25
Q

What is the difference between a BABY-J and a TABLE-J wire?

A

Baby-J is ideal for radial access and has a 1.5mm radius on the hook where as a Table-J is much larger, typically used for femoral access and has a 3mm radius. The Table-J will straighten out in a smaller artery and cause scrapping or side branch selectivity.

26
Q

DON’T FORGET THE TABLE!

A

Wire: Taper: Tip: Application:
GWA 035 5cm —- ATK/BTK/Visceral
GWA 018 1cm 2cm gold ATK/BTK
GWA 014 coil
GWA Track ATK/BTK/Complex
GW Gold 3cm 1mm gold band BTK

27
Q

What are the SHARED features of GWA and GWA Track?

A

They both have:
nitinol core tip
2cm gold coil
25cm glide construction & hydrocoating
Spiral PTFE coating on backend

28
Q

What are the DIFFERENCES between GWA and GWA Track?

A

GWA: GWA Track:
45 angle 35angle
1cm + 5cm taper 1cm taper ONLY
Nitinol-to-Nitinol Nitinol-to-Stainless Steel
035/018/014 018/014 ONLY
180/260/300cm 180/300cm ONLY

29
Q

What are the primary features of Glidewire Gold?

A
