4A Hydro Tip Guide Wire

SKU: 4A-RA-0004

The Hydro Tip Guide Wire is an interventional guidance wire engineered with a selectively coated hydrophilic distal tip combined with a low-friction PTFE shaft. This hybrid design delivers slick, low-friction navigation across localized strictures and impacted calculi at the tip, while maintaining firm tactile control and hand grip along the main shaft. It is an ideal access solution for challenging urological and biliary procedures where precise distal tracking is required without compromising shaft handling.

Key Benefits

  • Selective Hydrophilic Tip Coating: Delivers targeted lubricity at the distal tip to cross strictures without shaft slipping.
  • Kink-Resistant Nitinol Core: Highly elastic alloy core prevents permanent bending during navigation through tortuous anatomy.
  • Atraumatic Flexible Tip: Soft floppy tip reduces mucosal perforation risks in delicate renal calyces or bile ducts.
  • Radiopaque Distal Marker: Gold or tungsten-infused tip segment ensures distinct fluoroscopic placement control.
  • Tactile Shaft Control: Non-coated PTFE shaft section provides non-slip hand control during catheter advancement.
