The Asahi Chikai Guidewire (REF WAIN-CKI-200-BA) is a 0.014 inch, 200 cm neurovascular guidewire featuring a pre-shaped 90° angled distal tip. It is designed to support selective catheterization, microcatheter navigation and device exchange across tortuous neurovascular pathways, combining a shapeable distal segment with a supportive proximal body for controlled torque transmission.
Key Features
Diameter: 0.014 in (0.36 mm)
Working length: 200 cm, suitable for over-the-wire exchange techniques
Pre-shaped 90° angled distal tip for vessel selection
Shapeable tip segment to allow operator-tailored curves
Hydrophilic distal coating to reduce friction in tortuous vessels
PTFE-coated proximal shaft to support smooth device tracking
Radiopaque distal segment for fluoroscopic visualization
Core-to-tip construction intended to enhance torque response and tactile feedback
Clinical Applications
Selective access and navigation of intracranial and peripheral neurovascular vessels
Support for microcatheter delivery and repositioning
Facilitation of device exchange in endovascular neuro-interventional procedures
Use in tortuous or angulated anatomy where a pre-shaped angled tip is preferred
