Intended purpose

pORTAL Steerable Hydrophilic Guidewire, is intended for use in extra- and intracranial brain-supplying arteries and in extra- and intracranial brain-draining veins. It can be used to facilitate the selective introduction and positioning of catheters and other interventional devices within target vessels.

Functional description

pORTAL Steerable Hydrophilic Guidewire is a guidewire with a diameter of 0.36 mm (0.014”) and a length of 205 cm. It consists of a radiopaque, distal platinum coil and a core wire. The distal segment has a hydrophilic coating. The distal tip of the guidewire is provided straight, but shapeable. Proximal end is coated with PFTE.
