Corewires
Our corewires deliver exceptional consistency, strength, and flexibility, making them an ideal solution for medical device applications that demand precise navigation and control. Each wire is manufactured to exact tolerances, ensuring uniform performance across batches, which is critical for procedures where reliability can't be compromised.
KTC™ Core Guidewires
The KTC™ Advantage stems from a proprietary, in-house developed technology that sets it apart from other products on the market. Featuring a 1:1 torque response, the wire benefits from KTC™'s specialized processing, which enhances core wire straightness and recoverability.
Clinical benefits of KTC™ core guidewires:
- Tortuous path wire distortion: KTC™ demonstrated a 300% improvement in resulting straightness compared to standard stainless steel core wire construction, based on a simulated test in which samples were wrapped around a 3.8 cm cylinder and then released.
- Guidewire straightness: Based on a test where both a KTC™ guidewire and a stainless steel corewire were removed from a 15 cm circular dispenser after two weeks, and the KTC™ guidewire was straight with no bow while the standard stainless steel corewire construction had a 1 cm bow.
- Weld break strength: KTC™ resulted in a 10% increase in weld break strength.
- Flex force: KTC™ resulted in a 6% increase in stiffness with a reduction in permanent set.
- Bona fide value: The customer's return on investment is simplified with superior performance.
*Note: Comparison testing on a 0.038” x 50 cm guidewire with a 0.015” diameter core wire.
