Hydrophilic Guide

The hydrophilic guidewire is designed for endoscopic procedures in the biliary and pancreatic ducts, facilitating the introduction of other medical devices into the tract. Thanks to its nitinol composition and hydrophilic coating, it ensures smooth and safe navigation within the body.

The Hydrophilic Endoscopic Guidewire is a medical device designed to facilitate access and navigation within the biliary and pancreatic systems during endoscopic procedures. This product is specifically indicated for use in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) , enabling precise manipulation of catheters, withdrawal balloons, and other medical devices necessary for stone removal, stent placement, and stricture dilation.

Thanks to its super-flexible nitinol core construction, the guide offers high torsional rigidity and excellent navigation control. Its design incorporates a hydrophilic coating , which reduces friction and improves forward movement through narrow or winding conduits.

Main Features of the Hydrophilic Guide: Radiopaque Marker: The radiopaque marker at the tip of the guide allows for clear visualization under fluoroscopy, ensuring accurate positioning during the procedure. Super Flexible Nitinol Core: Nitinol is a highly resistant material that prevents the guide from deforming or bending, ensuring better stability and response in the maneuver. Hydrophilic Coating: This specialized coating minimizes friction, facilitating movement within the bile and pancreatic ducts without causing trauma to the tissues. Tip Options (Straight or Angled): To suit different anatomies and clinical needs, the guide is available in straight or angled tip versions, with different stiffness options for each case. Different Sizes and Lengths: Available in different diameters (0.025", 0.035" and 0.89 mm) and lengths up to 4500 mm, allowing its use in a wide variety of endoscopic procedures. High Compatibility with Medical Devices: The guide's design allows its use with catheters, sphincterotomes, dilators, and extraction balloons, making it an essential component in advanced procedures. Clinical Applications: The Single-Use Wire Guide is used in various endoscopic procedures, especially for accessing and treating biliary and pancreatic diseases. Its main applications include: Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP): For selective cannulation of the bile and pancreatic ducts. Gallstone Handling: Assistance in the placement of extraction balls and baskets for the removal of gallstones. Placement of Stents or Prostheses: Facilitates the introduction and precise positioning of biliary and pancreatic prostheses. Stenosis Dilation: Acts as a guide for dilators and other therapeutic devices. Benefits of the Hydrophilic Guide: Greater precision and control in the maneuver. Smooth advance without risk of twisting or tissue damage. Compatible with different endoscopic devices. Reduction in procedure time and improvement in patient safety. Single-use design to prevent cross-infection.
