PT2® Guide Wires
Enhanced Durability for Excellent Access
Access is everything when working with challenging cases. PT² wires combine the enhanced durability of a linear elastic nitinol distal core and a highly resilient polymer tip. This provides excellent access in difficult cases involving severe tortuosity, tight lesions or multi-vessel disease.
Improved Performance*:
- Linear elastic nitinol distal core enhances distal durability and resiliency for improved torque response.
- Improved torque means better steering and handling for superb performance.
Exceptional Tip Durability**:
- PT² guide wire tip durability is better than the Guidant Whisper™ Wire.
- Durable polymer tip helps facilitate crossing in tight/complex lesions.
Better Shaping and Retention*:
- Stainless steel shaping ribbon makes the PT² Guide Wire tip easy to shape.
- Polymer tip retains its shape during interventions for improved access.
Other Performance-Enhancing Features:
- Hydrophilic-coated polymer sleeve for smooth device delivery.
- Femoral and brachial marker bands can reduce fluoro time.
- Compatible with AddWire™ Extension Wire.
Available in Light Support (LS) and Moderate Support (MS).
- PT² LS guide wire is a light support wire that provides flexibility.
- PT² MS guide wire is a moderate support wire that provides more support for push/device delivery
