The Radifocus Glidewire Advantage Track is designed to direct a catheter to the desired anatomical location in the peripheral vasculature during diagnostic or interventional procedures. This device is not intended for neurovascular or coronary interventions.

The Radifocus Glidewire Advantage Track is designed to direct a catheter to the desired anatomical location in the peripheral vasculature during diagnostic or interventional procedures. The Radifocus Glidewire Advantage Track consists of a Nickel Titanium alloy and stainless steel core wire. The distal portion from the junction is NiTi and the proximal portion is stainless steel. A polyurethane and hydrophilic coating is applied to the distal portion of the wire while a PTFE coating is applied to the proximal portion. The wire distal segment comes in angled configuration. The wire contains a distal radiopaque gold coil. The wire comes packaged in a plastic holder contained within an individual package. A guide wire inserter is contained within the individual package to assist with the insertion of the wire into a needle or catheter. During an interventional or diagnostic procedure, the physician will follow the standard procedure of placing an access wire and introducer within a vessel. Once the introducer is placed, the physician may choose a wire such as the Radifocus Glidewire Advantage Track to gain access to the target lesion or therapeutic site. It is also used in conjunction with a catheter which is advanced over the wire to the desired anatomical location.
