ASAHI Gladius EX CTO Coronary Guidewire | REF AP14R325S

The ASAHI Gladius EX CTO Coronary Guidewire (REF AP14R325S) is part of Asahi Intecc's dedicated CTO guidewire portfolio, developed to support interventional cardiologists during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of chronic total occlusions. The wire is designed to balance tip stiffness with tactile feedback, enabling navigation through fibrocalcific plaque and ambiguous occlusion caps while maintaining operator control.

Key Features
- Tapered tip geometry optimized for penetration into hard proximal caps and microchannels
- ACT ONE core-to-tip construction for 1:1 torque transmission and tip shape retention
- Hydrophilic polymer cover on the distal segment to reduce friction during advancement
- SLIP-COAT / hydrophilic coating along the shaft to support delivery through tortuous anatomy
- 0.014 in shaft diameter compatible with standard PCI microcatheters and guide extensions
- Length configuration suitable for antegrade CTO strategies; exchange-length variants available in the Gladius family

Clinical Applications
- Antegrade wiring of chronic total occlusions in native coronary arteries
- Navigation through microchannels within the occlusion body
- Crossing of moderately calcified or fibrotic proximal caps
- Support for escalation/de-escalation CTO wire strategies alongside other ASAHI CTO wires
- Use with compatible microcatheters for tip-load support and wire exchange
