This product is intended to facilitate the placement and exchange of diagnostic and therapeutic devices during intravascular procedures. This device is intended for peripheral vascular use only.

The VASSALLO GT 018 Peripheral Guide Wire in this submission is a steerable guide wire with a maximum diameter of 0.018" (0.45mm) and available in lengths of 190cm and 300cm. The device has a solid core with a hydrophilic coated coil-type distal end. The coil is partly or entirely radiopaque to facilitate selection of the blood vessel and confirmation of the position of the guide wire's distal end by fluoroscopy. The core shaft surface is coated with Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). About 2cm of the distal end can be shaped. A detachable extension wire (hereafter "extension wire") is available to connect with the proximal end of the quide wire with a length of less than 300 cm. A Torque device is included in the same package.

The VASSALLO GT Hybrid consists of a hybrid NiTi and stainless-steel core wire and a coil assembly on the distal end of the device. The coil assembly is soldered to the NiTi portion of the core. The coil is radiopaque to facilitate selection of the blood vessel and confirmation of the position of the guide wire's distal end by fluoroscopy. Coatings are applied on the surface of the VASSALLO GT Hybrid to increase lubricity and reduce friction. The proximal portion is coated with PTFE. The distal section is coated with a hydrophilic coating and polyurethane coating. The VASSALLO GT Hybrid has an outer diameter of 0.014 inches (0.36mm) and is available in 190cm and 300cm lengths. About 2cm of the distal end can be shaped. A detachable extension wire (hereafter "extension wire") is available to connect with the proximal end of the guide wire with a length of less than 300 cm. A Torque device is included in the same package.
