PTFE Guide Wires

PTFE Guide Wires are high-performance medical devices designed to support a wide range of interventional procedures by enabling the smooth and accurate introduction of catheters, balloons, stents, and other therapeutic tools into the vascular system. Constructed with a PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) coating, these guidewires offer exceptional lubricity, biocompatibility, and resistance to corrosion, making them ideal for navigating complex vascular pathways with minimal friction and maximum control.
Widely used in procedures such as angioplasty, coronary interventions, endovascular therapy, and diagnostic imaging, PTFE Guide Wires play a vital role in modern interventional cardiology, radiology, and vascular surgery. Their ultra-smooth surface enhances navigability and ensures reduced resistance during device exchange, helping clinicians reach even the most challenging anatomical targets safely and efficiently.
These guidewires are engineered for optimal balance between flexibility and support, with precision-manufactured tips and shafts to provide superior steerability and torque response. They are available in various lengths, diameters, tip styles (J-tip, straight), and stiffness levels to accommodate diverse procedural and anatomical needs.
Product Highlights:
PTFE Coated Surface: Offers a consistent, low-friction coating for smooth navigation and reduced resistance during device advancement.
Flexible Distal Tip: Stainless steel coil-wrapped tip ensures gentle vascular access while maintaining torque control and steerability.
