Description

Navigate challenging cases with the Wholey™* guidewire system available in different tip configurations, in different levels of support, and flexibility, and in a variety of lengths. The device's proprietary precoating technology provides a consistent coating over the entire coil for a smoother interaction with interventional devices.

The Wholey™* guidewire system is intended to facilitate the placement and exchange of interventional devices during diagnostic or therapeutic interventional procedures. The guidewire can be torqued to facilitate navigation through tortuous arteries and/or avoid unwanted side branches.

Features

Steer

  • Delivers 1:1 torque for precise navigation in tortuous anatomy
  • Performs with 99% less whip than the leading competitor for increased steerability†

Slide

  • Proprietary coating technology eliminates coating inconsistencies
  • Removal of distal intermediate joint results in smoother interaction with interventional devices

Shape

  • Tip retains its shape through highly tortuous anatomy, facilitating vessel selection.
  • Atraumatic tip reduces risk of vessel perforation.

Stay

  • Unique extension system is designed for quick and precise exchange on command, and is compatible with all 145 cm and 175 cm length Wholey™* guidewires

Support

  • Floppy, intermediate, and standard guidewires feature different lateral stiffness profiles, providing optimal support for delivering sheaths and interventional devices
