The Merit Medical SplashWire / Laureate Hydrophilic Guide Wire (REF LWSTFA38180) is a 0.038" (0.97 mm) diameter, 180 cm long, angled-tip, stiff hydrophilic-coated guide wire designed to support catheter navigation and selective access during endovascular procedures. The nitinol-based core construction and hydrophilic polymer coating are engineered to deliver a balance of pushability, torque response, and reduced surface friction when advanced through tortuous anatomy.

Key Features
- Diameter: 0.038" (0.97 mm) for compatibility with a broad range of diagnostic and interventional catheters.
- Length: 180 cm working length suitable for standard access and exchange techniques.
- Tip configuration: Angled tip to assist with selective vessel engagement and side-branch access.
- Shaft stiffness: Stiff shaft variant for enhanced pushability and catheter support.
- Coating: Full hydrophilic coating to lower friction in fluid-activated state.
- Core material: Nitinol-based construction engineered for kink resistance and shape retention.
- Single-use, sterile device (verify sterilization method and shelf life on current product labeling).

Clinical Applications
- Introduction and exchange of angiographic and interventional catheters.
- Navigation of tortuous or stenotic peripheral vascular anatomy.
- Selective and super-selective vessel access where an angled, stiff hydrophilic wire is indicated.
- Facilitation of diagnostic angiography and related endovascular workflows as determined by the treating clinician.
