The Boston Scientific V-18 ControlWire Guidewire (REF M001468580) is a 0.018 in x 200 cm peripheral guidewire designed to provide a balance of steerability, support, and trackability during diagnostic and interventional peripheral vascular procedures. The hybrid wire construction is engineered to help clinicians navigate tortuous and challenging peripheral anatomy while supporting device delivery.
Key Features
- 0.018 in (0.46 mm) wire diameter for compatibility with low-profile peripheral interventional devices
- 200 cm working length suitable for exchange and extended reach procedures
- Hybrid core design intended to combine pushability with distal flexibility
- Polymer/coating system intended to support smooth device tracking and reduced friction
- Shapeable distal tip to facilitate vessel selection and lesion access
- Radiopaque distal segment to assist fluoroscopic visualization
- Single-use, sterile packaged configuration
Clinical Applications
- Access and guidance during peripheral vascular diagnostic and interventional procedures
- Support for delivery and exchange of 0.018 in compatible catheters, balloons, and stents
- Navigation of tortuous peripheral vasculature where controlled support is desired
- Use as part of standard peripheral interventional workflows by trained clinicians
