ASAHI Gaia
Entry
Micro-cone tip
The micro-cone tip makes it easier to create the entry route to the hard tissue and fibrous cap.
Deflection control
Flexible tip
The above data was obtained by company standardized test, which may differ from industry standardized tests.
The above data does not guarantee that all devices have exactly the same performance with the samples used for these tests.
Asahi GAIA
By taking advantage of tip flexibility, ASAHI Gaia easily avoids hard tissue and advances smoothly.
Conventional stiff guide wire
A stiffer wire is less likely to deflect, causing it to proceed in a straight direction only.
1mm pre-shaped tip
The pre-shaping of the tip is incorporated in the production process, significantly increasing tip shape retention.
Directional Control
Intentional manipulation
All the data were obtained by company standardized test, which may differ from industry standardized tests.
All the data do not guarantee that all devices have exactly the same performance with the samples used for tests.
Enhanced torque response broadens possibility of intentional manipulation.
ASAHI SION black is very flexible compared with Fielder FC, similar to spring coil type wires.
Recommended use;
- Severe stenosis
- Tortuous lesions
- Long, calcified lesions
- Collateral channel tracking
The above data was obtained by company standardized test, which may differ from industry standardized tests.
The above data does not guarantee that all devices have exactly the same performance with the samples used for tests.
Tracking Test
The test method is to pass guide wire to a continuous curve of 1 mm radius.
After Test
ASAHI SION black retain control after passing heavy stenosis and tortuosity.
The above data was obtained by company standardized test, which may differ from industry standardized tests.
The above data does not guarantee that all devices have exactly the same performance with the samples used for tests.
