The Boston Scientific Bentson Starter Guidewire (REF M001491471) is a 0.035 inch diameter, 180 cm length straight-tip stainless steel guidewire designed to support initial vascular access and catheter introduction in peripheral interventional procedures. Engineered with a long, extra-floppy distal segment, the Bentson wire is intended to provide an atraumatic leading section while a stiffer proximal body delivers the column strength needed for catheter tracking and exchange.
Key Features
- 0.035 in (0.89 mm) outer diameter compatible with standard introducer sheaths and diagnostic catheters
- 180 cm working length suitable for diagnostic access and short exchanges
- Straight tip configuration with an extended floppy distal segment for atraumatic vessel navigation
- Stainless steel core construction with a tightly wound outer coil for torque transmission and pushability
- PTFE coating to reduce surface friction and support smooth catheter exchanges
- Single-use, sterile packaging
- Supplied with a wire dispenser hoop for ease of preparation
Clinical Applications
- Initial vascular access during peripheral angiography and interventional procedures
- Introduction and exchange of diagnostic catheters and introducer sheaths
- Navigation of tortuous or sensitive vessels where an atraumatic floppy tip is preferred
- General-purpose starter wire use across peripheral endovascular workflows
- Suitability for any specific clinical indication should be confirmed against the current manufacturer Instructions for Use
