The Boston Scientific V-18 ControlWire Hydrophilic Guidewire (REF M001468480) is a 0.018 inch peripheral guidewire with a 110 cm working length, engineered to support access, navigation and lesion crossing in peripheral vascular interventions. Its hybrid construction combines a stainless steel proximal shaft with a nitinol distal section and a hydrophilic coating to balance pushability, torque response and trackability through tortuous anatomy.
Key Features
Diameter: 0.018 in (0.46 mm)
Working length: 110 cm
Construction: stainless steel proximal shaft with nitinol distal core for kink resistance
Coating: hydrophilic coating along the distal segment to reduce friction
Tip: shapeable, atraumatic distal tip for selective navigation
Radiopaque distal segment to support fluoroscopic visualization
Designed for 1:1 torque control during steering and lesion crossing
Clinical Applications
Access and guidewire support during peripheral vascular procedures
Navigation through tortuous peripheral arterial and venous anatomy
Crossing of stenotic peripheral lesions
Exchange and delivery of compatible 0.018 in interventional devices, including balloon catheters and stent systems
Use in diagnostic and interventional workflows where a mid-weight 0.018 in platform is indicated by the operator
