PTCA guidewires in general are long, flexible wires that are used to guide catheters through blood vessels for angioplasty procedures. Tabeeb PTCA guidewires are designed to facilitate the delivery and exchange of balloon catheters or other interventional devices during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) or other intravascular procedures. Tabeeb PTCA guidewires offer a range of features to meet the needs of different clinical situations and anatomies.

PTCA guidewire

Tabeeb PTCA guidewires in general are long, flexible wires that are used to guide catheters through blood vessels for angioplasty procedures.

Length: Tabeeb PTCA guidewires have a length of 190 cm, which is suitable for most PTCA or other intravascular procedures.
Diameter: Tabeeb PTCA guidewires have a diameter of 0.014 inch, which is compatible with most balloon catheters or other interventional devices. 
Tip shape: The tip has a straight shape.

Tabeeb PTCA guidewires have a stainless-steel core that provides excellent torque, push, and support. Stainless steel is also less prone to kinking than nitinol.

Core material

Tabeeb PTCA guidewires have a distal flexible tip made with platinum or tungsten alloy that enhances radiopacity and maneuverability. The tip can be shaped to fit different vessel curves and lesion characteristics.

Tip style

Tabeeb PTCA guidewires have a PTFE coating on the body that reduces friction and facilitates device delivery. PTFE is a hydrophobic polymer that repels water and blood. The hydrophilic coating on the tip enhances catheter tracking with its lubricious and smooth surface.

Coating

Tabeeb PTCA guidewires have a balanced tip load that ranges from less than 0.6 gram to 0.9 grams. This allows for optimal support and penetration power without causing vessel trauma or dissection.

Tip load

Tabeeb PTCA guidewires have a core-to-tip design that ensures a 1:1 torque ratio for precise manipulation. The core-to-tip design also increases steerability in tortuous anatomy.

1:1 Torque Ratio

Tabeeb PTCA guidewires are kink resistant, which helps maintain their shape and functionality even when bent.

Kink resistance

Tabeeb PTCA guidewires are thrombus resistant, which means they are designed to minimize the risk of blood clot formation.

Thrombus resistance

Tabeeb PTCA guidewires have a stiff shaft technology that provides strength and stability during catheter placement and exchange.
