The Boston Scientific V-18 ControlWire Guidewire (REF M001468520) is a 0.018 in x 200 cm peripheral guidewire engineered to deliver predictable torque transmission, tactile feedback and trackability during diagnostic and interventional peripheral vascular procedures. Its nitinol-based core construction and hydrophilic distal coating are intended to help clinicians navigate tortuous anatomy and cross challenging lesions while supporting the delivery of compatible 0.018 in catheters and devices.
Key Features
- 0.018 in guidewire diameter compatible with 0.018 in peripheral interventional platforms.
- 200 cm working length suitable for exchange-length applications.
- Nitinol core designed for kink resistance and durable shape retention.
- Hydrophilic distal coating intended to reduce friction and improve trackability.
- ControlWire design engineered for 1:1 torque response and tip control.
- Radiopaque distal segment to support fluoroscopic visualization.
- Shapeable tip to facilitate vessel selection and lesion crossing.
Clinical Applications
- Access, navigation and exchange in peripheral vascular interventions.
- Support for delivery of 0.018 in compatible balloons, stents and diagnostic catheters.
- Use in tortuous or stenotic peripheral vasculature where controlled torque and trackability are required.
- Intended for use by trained interventional clinicians in accordance with the manufacturer's Instructions for Use.
