ConMed XWire Stiff Biliary Guidewire (3/Box)

Yes, the ConMed XWire features an integrated endoscopic measurement system specifically designed to enhance precision during biliary procedures and simplify detection of wire movement.

This system incorporates easy-to-read visual markings that offer several key benefits:

• Distance: Markings extend 30 cm from the distal wire tip.
• Granularity: Visual markings are spaced every 1 cm for precise assessment.
• Reference: Multiple, distinct markers are provided every 5 cm to facilitate quick positioning and deciphering.

The markings also use an ideal color combination for easy visualization during fluoroscopy.

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

This specialized structure provides a balance of inherent strength and necessary flexibility, which is crucial for precise navigation and maintaining control during complex biliary interventions. It is specifically designed to facilitate effective transition across the elevator of the duodenoscope.

Yes, the ConMed XWire Stiff Biliary Guidewire features a highly lubricious hydrophilic coating on its radiopaque floppy distal tip. This coating is integral to the wire’s design.

Key benefits include:

• Superior Access: The lubricity significantly enhances cannulation, allowing for improved access when navigating difficult strictures.
• Optimized Maneuverability: It facilitates smooth and flexible movement, particularly when transitioning across the elevator mechanism of the duodenoscope and through tortuous anatomical angles.

Yes, the ConMed XWire Stiff Biliary Guidewire is offered in two distinct lengths to accommodate various procedural needs:

• 260 cm
• 450 cm

Both lengths are available with an outer diameter of 0.035” (0.89 mm) and can be configured with two tip options:

1. Straight Tip
2. Torquable Angled Tip: Designed for enhanced control and precise steering.

All configurations share the same high-performance design, featuring a proprietary nitinol core and a radiopaque, hydrophilically coated floppy distal tip for superior visibility and access.

Yes, the ConMed XWire Stiff Biliary Guidewire is engineered for enhanced visibility and accurate positioning during complex procedures.

Key features that ensure superior visualization and precision include:

• Radiopaque Floppy Tip: The distal tip is specifically radiopaque, optimizing its visibility under fluoroscopy, which is essential for accurate placement and stricture access.
• Precise Measurement System: The wire includes a functional endoscopic measurement system. This system features clear visual markings spaced every 1 cm, extending 30 cm from the wire tip, supplemented by multiple markings every 5 cm to simplify measurement and help detect inadvertent wire movement.
• Hydrophilic Coating: The lubricious hydrophilic coating on the distal tip aids in smooth cannulation, further facilitating precise navigation through complex or tortuous anatomy.

Yes, the ConMed XWire includes an integrated endoscopic measurement system for enhanced precision during biliary procedures. This system is designed to help accurately gauge stricture length and monitor for any unintended wire displacement.

The key features of the measurement system are:

• Marking Spacing: Visual markings are spaced every 1 cm.
• Measurement Range: These markings extend 30 cm from the wire tip.
• Visualization Aids: Convenient, distinct markers are placed every 5 cm to ensure easy reading and detection during fluoroscopy.

Yes, the ConMed XWire Stiff Biliary Guidewire features an outer diameter of 0.035 inches (0.89 mm). This size is engineered with a proprietary nitinol core and a hydrophilic coating, providing the stiffness needed for complex navigation along with superior lubricity for reliable access during challenging biliary procedures.

Yes, the ConMed XWire Stiff Biliary Guidewire is specifically engineered for demanding and complex endoscopic procedures that require robust support and precise navigation, such as in tortuous anatomy or strictures. Its specialized design combines stiffness with maneuverability:

• Robust Core: The proprietary nitinol core ensures reliable stiffness to maintain support while still offering necessary flexibility.
• Optimized Maneuverability: The tapered distal 20 cm section provides optimum flexibility for maneuvering through tortuous angles, while the lubricious, hydrophilic coating on the distal tip ensures smooth transition and enhanced access.
• Superior Visualization: The floppy distal tip is radiopaque, ensuring optimal fluoroscopic visibility during the procedure.
• Accurate Measurement: An endoscopic measurement system includes visual markings spaced every 1 cm (extending 30 cm from the tip), aiding in precise stricture measurement and monitoring the wire’s exact position.
