The Scientia Vascular's Aristotle 18 Guidewire and Aristotle 24 Guidewire are steerable guidewires with a shapeable tip to aid in accessing the neuro and peripheral vasculatures. The guidewires are supplied sterile, for single use only, in the following diameters, stiffness profiles, and lengths: Aristotle 18 Guidewire Diameter: 0.018" Stiffness Profiles: Soft, Standard, Support Length: 200 cm, 300 cm Aristotle 24 Guidewire Diameter: 0.024" Stiffness Profiles: Soft, Standard, Support Length: 200 cm, 300 cm The distal portion of each guidewire's tip includes a radiopaque platinum wire marker coil to facilitate fluoroscopic visualization. All guidewires have a hydrophilic polymer coating on the distal portion and a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coating on the proximal portion to reduce friction during manipulation in vessels. The guidewires are provided with an accessory kit consisting of an introducer (to aid with the insertion of the guidewire into a catheter hub and/or a hemostasis valve), a torque device (to attach to the proximal portion of the guidewire to facilitate gripping and manipulation of the guidewire during use), and a shaping mandrel (to aid in shaping the flexible tip of the guidewire). These accessory devices are included to facilitate use of the guidewires and are not intended to contact the patient's body.
