Hydrophilic Coated Guide Wire
Hydrophilic coated guide wire is also called hydrophilic guide wire. Because the surface of the guide wire is covered with a hydrophilic coating, the surface of the guide wire forms a smooth gel when it meets liquid, which increases lubricity and reduces friction, making the guide wire very lubricated and able to Good through narrow spots.
The hydrophilic guide wire is mainly composed of three parts: core core wire, sheath, and coating. Usually, it is a core wire of nickel-titanium alloy that is gradually tapered at the front end, and the polymer sheath is molded by TPU, and the surface coating is mostly PVP, PAM, etc.
There are two shapes of the tip (soft end) of the hydrophilic guide wire, one is straight and the other is elbow. Straight guidewires can easily enter the opening of the cavity, and curved guidewires can more easily pass through the twisted section of the cavity.
The difference between hydrophilic guide wire and other types of guide wire is the word “slippery”
Generally speaking, other types of guide wires are like ceramic floors, which are smooth but not too slippery. Hydrophilic guide wires are like oil on ceramic floors, which are very slippery and will slip.
Because it is sufficiently lubricated, the hydrophilic guide wire can pass through various complex narrows very well, allowing subsequent instruments to enter smoothly and reduce damage to tissues. Hydrophilic guide wires are also mostly used in clinical practice to “take the lead” to achieve the functions of protection and road signs, and play the role of a pioneer in testing.
Hydrophilic guide wire is widely used in clinical practice, and it can be seen in various departments, such as; urology, cardiology, neurology, gynecology, gastroenterology, etc.
