ASAHI SION black
Characteristics
- Multiple wire components to enhance durability and torque transmission.
- Improved flexibility
- Durable tip for shape retention
- Precise torque response
Designed with greater lubricity, control and durability.
ASAHI SION black is more flexible than conventional polymer jacket guide wires, for improved safety and vessel trackability.
SION TECC is designed to maintain tip shape for vessel selectivity and catheter positioning.
SION TECC provides precise torque response in tortuous vessel.
Lubricity
Polymer Jacket provides greater lubricity compared to spring coil guide wires.
ASAHI SION black shows better lubricity compared with spring coil type wires.
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.
Flexibility & tip durability
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.
