Added stiffness also facilitates catheter placement and advancement of other devices such as dilatation catheters and stent catheters during contralateral access.
A smooth tapered transition from the shaft to the flexible tip allows atraumatic negotiation of the most difficult anatomy.
Multiple Tip Configurations
The Amplatz wires are available in multiple tip configurations to include straight tip wires in a variety of flexible profiles including 1.0cm, 3.5cm, 4.0cm, 6cm, and 7cm.
A J3mm tip configuration is also available.
Stiff Shaft Construction
Flat wire outer coil allows a larger inner core to provide additional shaft support
Increased wire stiffness provides stability within the vasculature for enhanced navigation
Push and navigation without compromising tip flexibility
Device Placement Support
Proprietary PTFE coating reduces friction along the wire
Added stiffness provides extra support to facilitate advancement of devices such as dilatation catheters, stent catheters and other percutaneous devices
Provides extra support and stability during catheter placement and exchange during contralateral access
