The Abbott Hi-Torque Balance Middleweight Universal II Guide Wire (REF 1009664J) is a workhorse coronary guide wire designed to deliver a balanced combination of support, tactile feedback and deliverability during percutaneous coronary interventions. This configuration features a 190 cm usable length, a 3 cm radiopaque distal tip in a pre-shaped J configuration, a hydrophilic coating on the distal segment and a positioning marker to assist device exchanges.
Key Features
- Middleweight performance profile intended to balance support and trackability
- 190 cm working length suitable for standard coronary procedures
- 3 cm radiopaque distal tip for enhanced fluoroscopic visibility
- Pre-shaped J tip configuration
- Hydrophilic coating on the distal segment to support smooth navigation
- Positioning marker to facilitate device exchanges and measurements
- Core-to-tip design philosophy of the Balance Middleweight Universal II family for consistent torque response
Clinical Applications
- Intended for use in percutaneous coronary interventions as a guide wire platform
- Navigation of coronary anatomy where a middleweight support profile is preferred
- Facilitation of balloon catheter, stent and other over-the-wire or rapid-exchange device delivery
- Procedures in which a J-shaped atraumatic distal tip is clinically preferred
