A flexible metal wire (so-called ‘guide wire’) with a diameter of 0,35 mm, a length ranging from 180-300 cm, two radiopaque markers and a rounded tip. The wire is made of a metal alloy for biomedical use, with a proximal coating of PTFE and a distal coating of silicone or hydrophilic material. The radiopaque markers make it possible to locate the exact position of the wire in the body. The wire is used for guiding and positioning devices for interventions in the coronary artery. The guide wire is removed from the body and discarded after treatment. The article is presented in packaging and is sterilised.
