Intended use: A single-use guidewire for selective cannulation of the biliary ducts and for catheter introduction and exchange during endoscopic biliary procedures.

In which cases?

Selective cannulation of the common bile, cystic, right and left hepatic ducts.

What makes it different?

Hydrophilic tip the manufacturer describes it for passing narrow segments.
Nickel titanium core, which the manufacturer gives for kink resistance and support.
Two-colour spiral pattern on the wire, for following instrument exchange.
Visible under X-ray, so the position is checked on fluoroscopy.
