Catheter guidewire Gladius 0.018

peripheralcoronaryhydrophilic

Summary
ASAHI Gladius 0.018 is a 0.018" guidewire designed for device delivery with balanced shaft support, improved pushability and maneuverability. Suitable for a broad range of peripheral and coronary cases including simple stenoses and occluded lesions.

Key features

• Moderate tip load with good support: 4.0 gf tip load for 0.018" enables use as a soft wire across varied lesion types.
• Tip durability: ACT ONE construction retains core-wire integrity for use in occluded lesions and multi-vessel procedures.
• Mini-preshape: 1 mm pre-shaped tip from manufacturing for easier shaping and consistent handling.
• Polymer jacket for lubricity: Facilitates crossing of calcified lesions and fibrous occlusions.
• Pushability: Balanced multi-component shaft design transmits push force effectively; smooth shaft profile supports tortuous anatomy and crossover approaches.

Technology

• ACT ONE: Multi-wire coil using advanced wire-drawing, forming and torque technologies to optimize torque transmission, response, durability and rigidity in guidewires and microcatheters.
