Intended purpose

This Hi-Torque Guide Wire is intended to facilitate the placement of balloon dilatation catheters during percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) in arteries such as the femoral, popliteal, and infra-popliteal arteries. This guide wire may also be used with compatible stent devices during therapeutic procedures. The guide wire may also be used to reach and cross a target lesion, provide a pathway within the vessel structure, facilitate the substitution of one diagnostic or interventional device for another, and to distinguish the vasculature.
