FAQs of Standard Guide Wire 150 cm:
Q: How is the Standard Guide Wire 150 cm used during medical procedures?
A: The guide wire is used by medical professionals to assist in the navigation and placement of catheters during urological, cardiac, or vascular procedures. Its optimal flexibility and hydrophilic tip allow it to smoothly advance through blood vessels or urinary tracts, providing a safe pathway for other interventional devices.
Q: What are the benefits of the PTFE coating on this guide wire?
A: The PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) coating offers a smooth surface finish, reducing friction during insertion and minimizing trauma to patient tissues. It also enhances kink resistance and torque control, resulting in more precise and confident navigation for the operator.
Q: When should the guide wire be replaced or disposed of?
A: These guide wires are designed for single-use only and must be disposed of immediately after the procedure, as indicated by the packaging. Reusing disposable guide wires is not recommended due to the risk of infection and loss of performance integrity.
Q: Where should the guide wire be stored before use?
A: The guide wire should be kept in its original sterile blister packaging and stored in a cool, dry place. This ensures sterility and maintains its performance until the expiration date, which is up to five years from the manufacturing date.
Q: What types of tips are available and how do they differ in application?
A: The Standard Guide Wire is available with either a straight tip or a J-shaped tip. The straight tip is ideal for straightforward passage, while the J tip offers enhanced navigation and reduces the risk of vessel trauma when maneuvering through tortuous anatomy.
Q: How does radiopacity in the guide wire assist during procedures?
A: The radiopaque feature in the wires tip allows for clear visibility under imaging technologies like fluoroscopy or X-ray. This enables medical professionals to track the wires progress in real time, ensuring accurate placement and minimizing procedural complications.
Q: What compliance and safety standards does the guide wire meet?
A: This guide wire is CE marked, indicating conformity with international health, safety, and environmental protection standards. Its sterilization is achieved through EO, and it is intended strictly for single-use by qualified medical personnel.
