Laboratory testing applied a constant load to coating
surface while guidewire was moved up and down.
Results demonstrated better adhesion endurance
of AQUALiner’s coating vs. the leading competitor.

COATING ADHESI ON PERFORMANCE
For more than 10 years, Nipro Medical has designed and
produced interventional products of world-class quality,
advancing the frontiers of minimally invasive technology.
That standard of excellence is available in the revolutionary
AQUALiner guidewire, an endovascular system that
delivers all of the performance advantages you need...
plus a hydrophilic coating that lasts as long as your
procedure does.
The real test of hydrophilic effectiveness is endurance.
After all, if a guidewire’s lubricity diminishes over the
course of a procedure, the result can be both costly and
time-consuming.
Coating Adhesion (gf)
A chemically engineered rather than machine engineered tip produces a soft taper for smooth,
atraumatic insertion and navigation through
vessels.
Hydrophilic surface coating
Your choice of straight or angled tip helps ensure
the right match with the specific procedural and
anatomical need.
TWO TIP SHAPES
SOFT TIP DESIGN
Ni-Ti alloy core
A Ni-Ti alloy core, plus the right blend of suppleness
and rigidity, assure smooth, kink-free navigation
through even the most tortuous vasculature.
AQUALiner’s advanced coating technology
produces a “cushion” of moisture between the
wire surface and either vessel walls or instrumentation,
promoting smooth, frictionless navigation.
