The Boston Scientific V-18 ControlWire Guidewire (REF M001468500) is a 0.018 in diameter, 150 cm long peripheral guidewire engineered to provide a balance of steerability, support and tactile feedback during peripheral vascular interventions. The V-18 ControlWire combines a shapeable distal tip with a hydrophilic coating segment to assist tracking through tortuous anatomy while supporting the delivery of compatible interventional devices.
Key Features
Nominal diameter 0.018 in for compatibility with a broad range of 0.018 in interventional platforms.
Working length of 150 cm suited to peripheral access and intermediate-distance lesion work.
Shapeable distal tip intended to aid selective vessel access and navigation.
Hydrophilic coating on the distal segment to help reduce friction during advancement.
Stainless steel core construction designed to provide column strength and torque response.
Radiopaque distal section to support fluoroscopic visualization.
Clinical Applications
Intended for use in peripheral vascular procedures where a 0.018 in guidewire platform is appropriate.
May be used to facilitate the placement and exchange of compatible diagnostic and interventional devices.
Supports navigation across tortuous, stenotic or otherwise challenging peripheral anatomy as determined by the operator.
Refer to the manufacturer Instructions for Use for full indications, contraindications, warnings and precautions.
