The Asahi Chikai Guidewire (REF WAIN-CKI-10-200) is a 0.010 in diameter, 200 cm long neurovascular guidewire with a straight tip, engineered to support navigation of microcatheters through tortuous distal cerebral anatomy. Its hybrid coil-over-core construction is intended to balance tip softness, torque response and pushability for demanding intracranial access procedures.
Key Features
- Outer diameter: 0.010 in (0.25 mm)
- Usable length: 200 cm
- Tip configuration: Straight, shapeable
- Construction: Stainless steel core with distal coil and polymer jacket (Asahi hybrid design)
- Coating: Hydrophilic coating on distal segment for reduced friction; PTFE on proximal segment (per manufacturer design family)
- Intended use: Facilitation of microcatheter placement in the neurovasculature
- Torque transmission: 1:1 response as described by manufacturer
Clinical Applications
- Access and navigation in distal intracranial vessels
- Support and exchange for compatible microcatheters during neurointerventional procedures
- Procedures where an atraumatic, shapeable straight tip is preferred
- Compatibility with specific devices and indications: Not specified in the located sources
