ConMed XWire Biliary Guidewire

Each box of ConMed XWire Biliary Guidewires contains 3 guidewires.

Yes, the ConMed XWire Biliary Guidewire is available in two convenient lengths to accommodate different procedural requirements:

• 260 cm
• 450 cm

Yes, the ConMed XWire Biliary Guidewire is built with a proprietary nitinol core composition.

This material is fundamental to the guidewire’s design, providing essential benefits during biliary procedures:

• Structural Integrity: The proprietary nitinol ensures reliable durability and strength.
• Optimal Flexibility: It contributes to the overall flexibility, especially in the 20 cm tapered distal section, which is optimized for smooth transition across the duodenoscope elevator and effective stricture access.

Yes, the ConMed XWire Biliary Guidewire is equipped with a simple yet functional endoscopic measurement system integrated directly into the wire. This system is designed to aid in stricture measurement and detect inadvertent wire movement during procedures.

Key features of this precise measurement system include:

• Spacing: Visual markings are spaced every 1 cm along the wire shaft.
• Range: The markings extend for 30 cm from the distal tip of the wire.
• Movement Detection: Secondary markings are included every 5 cm to assist in quick monitoring and accurate deciphering of the wire’s position.

Yes, the ConMed XWire Biliary Guidewire is specifically engineered to provide superior maneuverability and precise access, especially when navigating complex anatomical angles during endoscopic procedures. Its performance is driven by several key design features:

• Proprietary Nitinol Core: The guidewire utilizes a proprietary nitinol core composition that ensures excellent responsiveness and reliable shape retention for controlled movement.
• Optimized Flexibility Profile: It features a tapered distal 20 cm section and a floppy distal tip, providing the optimal flexibility required for maneuvering through tortuous anatomy and smoothly transitioning across the duodenoscope elevator.
• Superior Cannulation: The distal tip is coated with a lubricious hydrophilic material, which significantly enhances lubricity to facilitate cannulation and access to strictures.
• Enhanced Visibility: The tip is radiopaque, ensuring optimal visibility under fluoroscopy for precise positioning and controlled movement.

Yes, the ConMed XWire Biliary Guidewire is available in two outer diameter options:

• 0.25”
• 0.35”

Yes, the ConMed XWire Biliary Guidewire features a lubricious hydrophilic coating applied specifically to its radiopaque floppy distal tip. This coating is a key design element for optimizing performance during biliary procedures.

Key benefits of this hydrophilic coating include:

• Superior Cannulation: The lubricious surface significantly reduces friction, which enhances cannulation capability and facilitates stricture access.
• Enhanced Maneuverability: It aids in smooth navigation through tortuous anatomy under fluoroscopy.
• Optimized Transition: This ensures an effective and smooth transition across the duodenoscope elevator.

Yes, the ConMed XWire Biliary Guidewire is engineered for enhanced visualization and maneuverability during biliary procedures. It features a radiopaque tip specifically designed for superior tracking.

Key features ensuring optimal visibility and access include:

• Radiopaque Floppy Distal Tip: Guarantees optimal fluoroscopic visibility, allowing clinicians to clearly track the guidewire for accurate placement.
• Optimized Flexibility: The design is tailored for smooth maneuvering through tortuous anatomical angles, improving access capability.
• Tapered Distal Section: A 20 cm tapered section provides the ideal flexibility profile for effective transition across the duodenoscope elevator.

The ConMed XWire Biliary Guidewire is designed with a specialized tapered section for enhanced performance during endoscopic procedures. Its key features related to the taper are:

• Length: The distal section is tapered for 20 cm.
• Benefit: This precise 20 cm taper ensures optimum flexibility, which is critical for smooth, effective transition across the duodenoscope elevator, maximizing maneuverability, and improving stricture access capability.

Yes, the ConMed XWire Biliary Guidewire features a simple yet functional endoscopic measurement system designed for precise monitoring and stricture measurement during biliary procedures. This system also helps detect inadvertent wire movement.

Key features of the integrated measurement system include:

• Marking Frequency: Visual markings are spaced every 1 cm.
• Total Range: The markings extend 30 cm from the wire tip.
• Enhanced Readability: The wire includes additional markings every 5 cm to facilitate easier interpretation and detection of wire movement.
• Visualization: The visual markings are designed with an ideal color combination for easy visualization during endoscopy.
