The Boston Scientific V-18 ControlWire Guidewire (REF M001468540) is a 0.018 inch diameter, 300 cm length peripheral guidewire engineered to support diagnostic and interventional procedures in the peripheral vasculature. Its hybrid construction is intended to combine the steerability and tip control of a coronary-style wire with the support characteristics required for peripheral lesion access and device delivery.
Key Features
0.018 in (0.46 mm) wire diameter for compatibility with 0.018 in peripheral systems.
300 cm exchange length to facilitate over-the-wire catheter and device exchanges.
ControlWire design intended to deliver 1:1 torque response and tip shapeability.
Hydrophilic distal coating to support trackability through tortuous anatomy.
PTFE-coated proximal shaft to reduce friction during device exchange.
Radiopaque distal tip segment to aid fluoroscopic visualization.
Shapeable tip to allow operator customization for vessel selection.
Clinical Applications
Intended for use in accessing and navigating the peripheral vasculature.
Supports delivery and exchange of compatible 0.018 in interventional devices, including balloon catheters and support catheters.
May be selected for crossing and supporting work in tortuous or stenotic peripheral segments where controlled tip response is desired.
Specific clinical indications, contraindications, warnings, and precautions are defined in the manufacturer Instructions for Use.
