Elves™ PTCA Guidewires

Our PTCA Guidewires are engineered for Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) and PCI procedures, offering excellent lesion-crossing ability, precise torque control, and reliable device support.

Designed for both routine and complex coronary interventions, our guidewires meet the demanding requirements of interventional cardiologists worldwide.

A PTCA guidewire, also known as a coronary guidewire or PCI guidewire, is a core device used to access coronary vessels and guide balloons, stents, and other interventional tools during angioplasty procedures.

Intended Use

Engineered for precision and reliability, the PTCA Guidewire delivers consistent torque control, excellent trackability, and dependable support during complex coronary and peripheral interventions. Its balanced shaft design and optimized distal flexibility enable smooth navigation through challenging vascular anatomy while maintaining procedural safety and efficiency.

The product is intended to facilitate the placement of balloon dilatation catheters during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA).

PTCA guidewires are designed to assist in navigating interventional devices to a coronary lesion during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), aimed at restoring myocardial blood flow in stenotic coronary vessels.

Coatings

Our proprietary coating processes, combined with advanced coating technologies, allow us to apply both lubricious and dielectric coatings to various substrates, ensuring the optimal performance of the guidewires we produce.

Lubricious

Capabilities: Hydrophilic and hydrophobic (PTFE reel-to-reel, PTFE discrete length and silicone)

Manufacturing Excellence

With extensive guidewire development expertise, our manufacturing facilities undergo stringent quality inspections and audits to ensure compliance with the highest industry standards. As an experienced medical guidewire manufacturer, we maintain ISO 13485 certification across all our facilities, and our quality and process management systems adhere to regulations set by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the European Community, and other international regulatory bodies. 

The product is consists of a guidewire itself,amandreland a torque device.

The PTCA Guidewire is available in a standard 0.014-inch diameter, with 190 cm and 300 cm effective length options to accommodate different procedural requirements. Physicians can select between floppy or normal tip flexibility for optimal lesion access and vessel safety. Models are offered with or without a mandrel, allowing customization based on operator preference and clinical technique. This comprehensive range ensures compatibility with a wide variety of PTCA and PTA procedures.
