The Zebra Guidewire is a high-visibility hydrophilic gastrointestinal guidewire designed for precise navigation and reliable device support during endoscopic and ERCP procedures. Featuring a distinctive black-and-white zebra stripe pattern, it allows clinicians to clearly track guidewire movement while maintaining excellent flexibility and pushability.

This guidewire is widely used in gastrointestinal tract interventions, including biliary and pancreatic procedures.

What Is a Zebra Guidewire?

A Zebra Guidewire is a specialized endoscopic guidewire characterized by alternating black-and-white surface markings combined with a hydrophilic coating. The zebra pattern enhances visibility under endoscopic and fluoroscopic guidance, helping physicians maintain control in complex anatomical pathways.
