Hydrophilic Coated Guidewire

An Innovative Solution for Tansradial Success
Transradial access offers many advantages over the traditional femoral approach, including the potential for less pain, fewer complications, faster recovery times, and better clinical outcomes. 

The TERUMO 1.5 mm Baby-J™ Hydrophilic Coated Guidewire combines the leading performance of the GLIDEWIRE® Guidewire product portfolio with design features ideal for transradial access.

Enables Small Vessel Access
Tight J-Tip shape and superior lubricity retention2-4* designed to minimize slide resistance allows for smooth and uninterrupted wire tracking through the small radial and subclavian arteries.

Tracks Through Tortuous Anatomy
Nitinol alloy core resists kinking in tortuous anatomy, allowing for easier and faster tracking.

Avoids Radial Artery Side
The J-Tip wire is designed to avoid side branches of the radial artery and to minimize the potential risk of perforation and other complications.

Angiographic Catheter

OPTITORQUE® Coronary Diagnostic Catheter

An angiographic or diagnostic catheter is intended for use in angiographic procedures. It delivers radiopaque media and therapeutic agents to selected sites in the vascular system. It is also used to lead a guidewire or a catheter into the target site.

Radifocus Optitorque, is a full line of angiographic catheters designed for superior torque control, precise placement, and easy manipulation.
  Single catheter concept decreases procedure and fluoroscopy times, providing both procedural and cost-efficiency.

Product Details
Designed for good torque control, high flow, coaxial engagement, and less vessel trauma

•  The double-braided stainless steel mesh technology is designed for 1:1 torque control and backup support for both right and left coronary artery engagement
• The thin wall technology creates a large lumen to enable a high flow rate of contrast media
•  Non-braided tip shaft designed for distal flexibility
•  Soft round tip designed to reduce potential vessel trauma

Full range of shapes designed for coaxial engagement
•  A complete portfolio for cardiology procedures, including universal radial shapes, enabling angiography of right and left coronary arteries using a radial approach.

  Benefit of being dedicated catheters for a radial approach
    Single catheter concept decreases procedure and fluoroscopy times, providing both procedural and cost efficiency.¹ ² ³

Guidewire

Radifocus™Guide Wire M Standard type is a Nitinol hydrophilic guide wire covered with polyurethane containing tungsten and a hydrophilic polymer coating (M Coat) for vessel access, lesion crossing and device support.

Designed to direct a catheter to the desired anatomical location in the vascular system (peripheral, cerebral as well as coronary vasculature) during diagnostic or interventional procedures. 
• Highly flexible, tapered tip for atraumatic and controlled navigation through vessels
• M Coat hydrophilic coating for low friction endovascular steerability and trackability
• Radiopaque polyurethane jacket for good fluoroscopic visibility and controlled navigation 
• Superelastic Nitinol core:
  - features adaptable shape memory and high    flexibility
  - prevents kinking for swift device exchange

Stiff Type

RadifocusTM Guide Wire M Stiff type is a Nitinol hydrophilic guide wire covered with polyurethane containing tungsten and a hydrophilic polymer coating (M Coat) for good torque control and shape memory as well as high stiffness and resistance. 
• ​​Reinforced superelastic Nitinol core:
  - Good torque control and stiffness
  - Adaptable shape memory and great flexibility for     controlled navigation
  - Kink resistance for swift device exchange

• Radiopaque polyurethane jacket for good fluoroscopic visibility and controlled navigation 

Introducer Sheath

RADIFOCUS™ Introducer ll
Introducers are intended to be inserted percutaneously into a vessel to facilitate the entire interventional procedure.

Characteristics
Total Integrated Fit (TIF) tip tapering: tapering design at the tip of the sheath and dilator to facilitate smooth penetration
• Cross-cut haemostasis valve to avoid blood reflux and air aspiration
• Thin radiopaque sheath with anti-kinking sleeve for easy catheter handling
• Snap-on/click-off dilator lock prevents dilator back-out during insertion and allows one-hand unlocking
• Wide variety of kit variations providing all elements for quick vessel access:  4-11 Fr  sheaths, 5-16 cm lengths, Surflash needle
 

Hydrophilic Coated Sheath

• Glidesheath Slender™ is designed with a thin wall structure where the outside diameter is reduced by one French size while the inner-diameter equivalent is maintained.
• Glidesheath Slender™ is coated with Terumo’s proprietary hydrophilic coating, allowing for smooth insertion and removal.

Slender hydrophilic coated sheath for radial access
• Glidesheath Slender™ is designed with a thin wall structure where the outside diameter is reduced by one French size while the inner-diameter equivalent is maintained.
• Glidesheath Slender™ is coated with Terumo’s proprietary hydrophilic coating, allowing for smooth insertion and removal.

Increase your radial access options with Glidesheath Slender™
• Ultra-thin wall leading to a 1 Fr reduction in outer diameter.
• Designed to minimize mechanical irritation to the artery.
• Results in less penetration resistance than conventional sheaths.1,2
