Features

Radial access

The F-18™* series includes the first 0.018" 400 cm wire in the United States, giving physicians the option to treat via radial access.

Versatility

0.014" and 0.018" diameters
Treat above and below the knee
300 cm and 400 cm lengths

Design features

Multiple tip loads to navigate tortuous vessels and cross challenging lesions or occlusions
Shapeable distal tip
Radiopaque covering ensures accurate positioning
The tapered wires include a low profile tip to cross challenging lesions
Stainless steel core provides strength and torqueability
The core shaft is coated with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) for consistent and smooth crossing
Hydrophilic coating provides lubricity to reduce friction, improve ease of navigation, and smooth advancement for good trackability
