ASAHI NEO’SProperty of ASAHI NEO’S PTCA GUIDEWIRE Family ①

■ Structure

One-piece Core Wire

・High-strength stainless steel core wire.Unique taper design enables excellent torque response and steerability performance.

Jointless Spring Coil

・Our unique technology for jointless spring coil made of two different metals provides high torque response and good slides with devices.


ASAHI NEO’SProperty of ASAHI NEO’S PTCA GUIDEWIRE Family ②■ Coating over the metal

Medical grade silicon coating Fluororesin coating

Stable against various chemicals.Low friction.Good resistance against high and low temperature. Usable at a wide range of temperature.Chemically stable, elution-free against any materials which lead to the human body hazard. Superficially inactive. No negative influence to human tissue or blood.

Chemically stable, and highly bio-compatible with least bio-reaction.Heat and cold resistant. Less physical changes against heat. Durable against various sterilization methods.Specific superficial property. High water repellency, and less coagulation and sticking of blood.Low friction. (not as good as fluororesin but sufficiently lubricious)

Structural ComparisonASAHI NEO’S vs. A (Support type and others)

Its core is designed to provide strong support when approaching the tortuous lesions. Comparing to S’Port, this wire is more flexible. （Tip load 0.7G）

・Same level of tip stiffness as SOFT. It has ten markers starting after 50 mm from the tip to scale lesions and position devices. ・Markers are soldered in the coil with same/ less outer diameter than the coil, so that the resistance against PTCA balloon catheter is small.・The coil with markers provide higher stiffness than SOFT, so that this wire can stretch the tortuous vessel and enables good support for device delivery.（Tip load 0.7G）
