- 25 cm distal taper designed to minimize vessel trauma that may improve selectivity of vessels
- Choose from a wide selection of tip angles, including the unique double angle, to help navigate and select even the most acutely angled vessels
TERUMO GLIDE TECHNOLOGYTM Hydrophilic Coating
- Provides unmatched lubricity*,1-3
- Unique hydrophilic coating for easy vessel navigation
- Durable coating is designed to minimize sliding resistance and deliver consistent performance
Polyurethane jacket with tungsten
- Provides enhanced radiopacity of entire GLIDEWIRE® GT Guidewire
TERUMO Nitinol Alloy Core
- Resists kinking for easier, faster navigation through even the most tortuous vessels
- Restores shape to manufactured state for multiple uses in a single procedure
2 cm gold coil at distal tip
- Provides enhanced radiopacity of tip for optimal visibility
Core-to-tip design
- Designed to provide optimal torque control and navigation
*When compared to ZIPwire™, HiWire®, AQUATRACK® and Laureate®.
