The Abbott Hi-Torque Balance Middleweight Universal II Guide Wire (REF 1009666) is a 190 cm coronary guide wire engineered to deliver a balanced combination of support, steerability, and tactile feedback during percutaneous coronary interventions. Its middleweight design is intended to bridge the performance gap between lighter workhorse wires and more supportive options, offering consistent 1:1 torque response across a range of coronary anatomies.

Key Features
- Middleweight performance: Balanced tip stiffness designed for responsive steering and predictable handling.
- 3 cm radiopaque tip: Enhances distal tip visualization under fluoroscopy.
- Straight tip configuration: Allows the operator to shape the tip according to procedural preference.
- Hydrophilic coating: Supports smooth advancement and reduced friction through catheters and vessels.
- 190 cm working length: Suitable for standard coronary procedures without the need for a wire extension in many workflows.
- No marker: Non-marked shaft configuration.
- Universal II platform: Engineered for consistent torque transmission along the length of the wire.

Clinical Applications
- Facilitation and exchange of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) devices.
- Navigation and support in native coronary arteries and coronary bypass grafts as determined by the treating physician.
- Use as a workhorse-class wire in routine diagnostic and interventional coronary procedures.
Intended use, indications, contraindications, warnings and precautions are defined by the manufacturer's Instructions for Use.
