The Boston Scientific ZipWire Hydrophilic Guidewire (REF M00146232B1) is a 0.018 in x 180 cm angled-tip peripheral guidewire engineered to support smooth navigation through tortuous peripheral vasculature. Its hydrophilic coating and nitinol core construction are designed to deliver a balance of trackability, torque response, and tip shape retention during diagnostic and interventional procedures.
Key Features
- Diameter: 0.018 in for compatibility with low-profile peripheral devices
- Working length: 180 cm
- Tip configuration: Angled for selective vessel access
- Core material: Nitinol construction for kink resistance and shape memory
- Coating: Hydrophilic coating to reduce friction and improve lubricity
- Torque response: 1:1 torque transmission to support controlled steering
- Radiopaque distal segment to aid fluoroscopic visualization
Clinical Applications
- Access and navigation within the peripheral vasculature
- Facilitating the introduction, positioning, and exchange of diagnostic and interventional catheters
- Crossing and selecting tortuous or angulated peripheral vessels
- General-purpose guidewire support during endovascular procedures where a 0.018 in platform is indicated
