Product overviewThe ASAHI Gladius 0.014 is a 0.014" coronary guidewire designed to treat a broad range of lesions, from simple stenosis to chronic occlusions. It combines a moderate 3 gf tip load with a polymer jacket and hydrophilic coating for balanced crossability and support.
Key features- Moderate tip load (3.0 gf) for versatile use from simple stenosis to occluded lesions as a soft wire.
- Improved tip durability through ACT ONE multi-wire coil, maintaining core-wire retention in challenging lesions.
- Manufactured mini-presHape (1 mm curve) that facilitates manual shaping and steerability.
- Polymer jacket plus hydrophilic coating for enhanced lubricity and rapid crossing of calcified or fibrotic occlusions.
- Balanced shaft design for effective pushability and torque transmission—suitable for tortuous vessels and crossover approaches.
TechnologyACT ONE is a multi-wire coil technology that optimizes torque force, torque response, durability and rigidity by combining advanced wire drawing, forming and torque control. It enhances performance of guidewires and microcatheters in complex coronary interventions.
