OverviewThe ASAHI Gladius MG is a 0.014" (0.36 mm) guidewire designed for complex and chronic total occlusion (CTO) interventions. Its modified distal core balance reduces tip prolapse while maintaining shape and handling during lesion crossing, enabling precise guidewire control.
Key features- Minimized tip prolapse: Modified distal core balance reduces risk of tip prolapse.
- Excellent durability: Preserves shape and guidewire performance after lesion crossing.
- High lubricity: Polymer jacket combined with hydrophilic coating enables smooth manipulation.
- Improved torque response: ACT ONE multi-wire coil provides responsive torque with reduced whip motion.
TechnologyACT ONE: A multi-wire coil technology that optimizes wire drawing, forming and torque characteristics to balance torque force, torque response, durability and rigidity for high-performance guidewire behavior.
