The Boston Scientific Platinum Plus Guidewire (REF M001466040) is a 0.018 in x 180 cm straight-tip peripheral guidewire engineered to facilitate access, navigation, and catheter exchange during interventional procedures. The Platinum Plus family is recognized for combining a radiopaque platinum-coil distal tip with a stainless steel core to balance visibility, shapeability, and pushability.
