4A Lunderquist Guide Wire

SKU: 4A-RA-0006

The Lunderquist Guide Wire (Extra Stiff / Ultra Stiff) is a heavy-duty interventional wire designed to provide maximum structural support during complex sheath exchanges and heavy device delivery. Engineered with a high-tensile stainless steel core, it resists bending and buckling under significant axial loads. Featuring a short flexible distal tip to protect internal tissue, the Lunderquist Wire is an essential component for delivering large-bore access sheaths in PCNL, aortic stent-graft placements, and severe ureteral dilations.

Key Benefits

  • Ultra-High Column Strength: Delivers maximum rigidity to support heavy dilators, large sheaths, and endovascular grafts.
  • Atraumatic Soft Distal Tip: Short flexible tip segment prevents tissue trauma while the rigid shaft stabilizes the track.
  • PTFE Coated Shaft: Smooth fluoropolymer coating reduces friction inside catheter lumens during exchange.
  • Kink-Resistant Stainless Steel Core: Engineered to maintain axial alignment under heavy torque and push forces.
  • Precise Fluoroscopic Control: Gold-plated or tungsten-marked distal tip provides visual depth confirmation under X-ray.
