This Hi-Torque Guide Wire is intended to facilitate the placement of balloon dilatation catheters during percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) in arteries such as the femoral, popliteal, and infra-popliteal arteries. This guide wire may also be used with compatible stent devices during therapeutic procedures.

The guide wire may also be used to reach and cross a target lesion, provide a pathway within the vessel structure, facilitate the substitution of one diagnostic or interventional device for another, and to distinguish the vasculature.

The Abbott Vascular Hi-Torque (HT) Command 18 Guide Wire with hydrophilic coating is a guide wire with a maximum diameter of 0.0180" and is provided in 210 cm and 300 cm lengths.

The Abbott Vascular HT Command 18 Guide Wire consists of a 304V stainless steel proximal core and a nitinol distal core. The distal core is attached to the stainless steel proximal core using a dissimilar metal solid-state resistance weld. The core wire at the tip is flattened to provide optimize flexibility, steering, and tip shaping. There are four nitinol lengths of the HT Command 18 family, each having multiple tip load options. The HT Command 18 has a straight (shapeable) tip.

The distal portion of the wire is covered with a polyurethane jacket and a hydrophilic coating. The proximal section of the wire is coated with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and a single coat of a silicone-based hydrophobic coating. Brachial and femoral markers are located on the proximal segment of the 210 cm and 300 cm guide wires.HT Command 18 Guide Wire is offered in two (2) packaging configuration options: With Accessory Devices (Torque Device and Guide Wire Introducer) and Without Accessory Devices.

The provided document is a 510(k) summary for a medical device (Hi-Torque Command 18 Guide Wire).
