Guiding wires are thin, flexible wires used in the medical field to refer other medical devices, such as catheters, through the body. They are used to a specific location. Guiding wires are typically made of stainless steel or Nitinol and come in various sizes and lengths. They are designed to be inserted through a small incision or puncture. They are inserted through the body using imaging techniques such as X-rays, ultrasound, or fluoroscopy.
Different types of guiding wires are available in the medical field, including standard, hydrophilic, and specialty wires. Standard guiding wires are the most commonly used type designed for the general positioning of other medical devices. Hydrophilic wires have a special coating that makes them slippery when wet and useful for navigating through small, twisting blood vessels. Specialty wires are used for more specific procedures and may have unique features, such as a curved tip for easier navigation. They may also have a stiff core for better control.
Guiding wires are crucial in many medical procedures, from diagnostic imaging to surgical interventions. They guide catheters during cardiac procedures, help place feeding tubes, and navigate through the intricate network of blood vessels in the brain. Proper use and placement of guiding wires require skilled medical professionals trained to perform these procedures safely and effectively.
