4A PTFE Guide Wire (SS)

SKU: 4A-RA-0007

The PTFE Guide Wire (Stainless Steel) is a foundational workhorse guide wire used across general surgical, urological, and radiological procedures for standard catheterization and device exchange. Constructed from a precision-wound stainless steel coil surrounding a central core wire, it is coated with smooth Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). This fluoropolymer coating lowers surface friction, minimizes tissue drag, and resists clot adhesion, providing reliable daily performance in routine diagnostic and therapeutic access.
