| Guidewires have become an indispensable tool for intervention in the biliary and pancreatic ducts. Olympus wires have been designed to simplify ERCP procedures by providing superior insertion capability, maximum endoscopic and radiographic visibility. |  | | | | LinearGuideV
The Olympus LinearGuideV single-use guidewires – a new level of efficiancy in biliary-pancreatic procedures. It is the only guidewire specifically designed to lock distally with the new Olympus V-Scope. |  |
Hydrophilic coated 500mm distal tip
To ensure smooth passage, even through tight strictures, the distal surface of the tip is covered for 500mm with a special hydrophilic coating that provides exceptional lubricity. This coating is used only at the distal tip to ensure that the guidewire can be easily manipulated. Angled tip and straight tip versions are available – the G-V210-3545A and G-V210-3545S respectively. The V-System evolution has now allowed the addition of a short guidewire also available in the angles and straight designs - the G-V210-3527A and G-V210-3527S.  Endoscopic visibility is assured with 2-step markings
Convenient 2-step markings on the guidewire make it easy to confirm the wire’s movement and position in the endoscopic filed of view during such procedures as catheter replacement, endoscopic biliary drainage or endoscopic sphincterectomy. | The ring marking section indicates that the length to the distal end is less than 120mm. If this section is visible, the guidewire is likely to lose position within the bile and pancreatic ducts. | |  | The spiral marking section can be used as the guidewire’s reference position during catheter replacement, EBD and ES to ensure that the guidewire is in the optimum position. | |  |
Other features include:
Tip design with superior insertion capability - a super elastic alloy is used inside the guidewire, resulting in excellent insertion capability. When an Olympus sphincterotome is used, the special coating on the surface eliminates the need to withdraw the guidewire for endoscopic sphincterectomy. Excellent radiographic visualisation - the coating contains a radiopaque material to facilitate fluoroscopic confirmation of guidewire position. |
