Catheter Guide Wire Handle

Name: Catheter Guide Wire Handle | Interventional Guide Wire Control Grip - Frigate
Price: 249.00 USD
Availability: InStock

The Catheter Guide Wire Handle features a co-axial torque transfer system that maintains 1:1 rotational precision, eliminating angular lag between proximal input and distal wire response. Through an internally stabilized bearing assembly, the device ensures uninterrupted torque continuity across highly curved anatomical structures. This is critical during complex interventions where precise tip control is required in navigating stenotic or angulated vascular pathways.

Inspection Method

100% CMM (±0.005mm), Thread Gauge (Go/No-Go), Visual (10x Magnification, Per ISO 14971)

Technical Advantages

The internal structure of the Catheter Guide Wire Handle is engineered to optimize longitudinal force transmission without introducing axial damping effects. Constructed with high-durometer thermoplastics along the actuation axis, the system avoids elastomeric deflection, enabling high-resolution feedback during distal wire advancement. This configuration preserves kinetic energy in real time, especially when overcoming lesion resistance or engaging tight anatomical constrictions.

Industry Applications

Interventional Cardiology

Enables controlled guide wire manipulation during coronary angioplasty and stenting procedures involving complex arterial geometries and calcified lesions.

Neurovascular Intervention

Facilitates precise torque and micro-movement control for navigating intracranial vessels during coiling, thrombectomy, and aneurysm repair procedures.

Peripheral Vascular Procedures

Supports high-torque guide wire navigation in femoral, iliac, and tibial arteries during angioplasty or atherectomy of peripheral occlusions.

Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR)

Maintains stable wire positioning through tortuous aortic access routes during deployment of stent graft systems in abdominal aortic aneurysm repairs.

Structural Heart Interventions

Used for transseptal access and device positioning in left atrial and valvular interventions requiring high control over guide wire path.

Pediatric Vascular Access

Enables accurate, low-force manipulation of micro guide wires in small-caliber vessels typical in neonatal and pediatric cardiac interventions.

Particulate Minimization for Intravascular Integrity

To meet stringent particulate control standards in vascular applications, the Catheter Guide Wire Handle is manufactured using non-lubricated, interference-fit joints assembled in ISO 7 cleanroom environments. All moving components are engineered with plasma-treated surfaces to resist wear-induced shedding during high-frequency motion. The internal drive system has been validated through ASTM F2638-compliant particle analysis protocols.

The Catheter Guide Wire Handle is designed with a modular interface system supporting sterile draping compatibility and accessory extensions. Components are secured via tactile-index locking mechanisms, allowing rapid assembly or replacement without tool assistance.

Having Doubts? Our FAQ

Check all our Frequently Asked Question

How does Frigate's Catheter Guide Wire Handle ensure precise torque delivery during rotational angioplasty procedures?

Frigate integrates a low-hysteresis torque shaft with angular stability up to 120° of torsional deflection. The design ensures 1:1 rotational fidelity from handle to distal wire even under vascular resistance. A precision-milled core minimizes backlash and prevents tip lag during repetitive torque application. This performance is critical during rotational or directional atherectomy procedures in calcified vessels.

What design features in Frigate’s Catheter Guide Wire Handle reduce particulate generation during prolonged guide wire manipulation?

Frigate uses thermoplastic wear-resistant materials and plasma-treated internal surfaces to minimize debris under dynamic stress. The handle assembly is lubricant-free and ultrasonically welded in ISO 7 cleanrooms. All internal components meet ASTM F2638 sub-visible particulate limits for intravascular use. This ensures safe deployment in procedures with zero contamination tolerance, such as neurovascular or coronary interventions.

How does Frigate’s Catheter Guide Wire Handle maintain grip security with hydrophilic-coated guide wires?

The handle incorporates a compliant collet system that applies evenly distributed radial compression across the wire diameter. This prevents coating damage while ensuring axial retention during torque or push maneuvers. Frigate’s collet geometry is validated across multiple hydrophilic wire types for coating integrity. It maintains stable engagement without slippage in lubricious environments.

What ensures compatibility of Frigate’s Catheter Guide Wire Handle with both standard and micro-diameter guide wires?

Fregatte designs the collet interface with adaptive radial compliance zones, allowing secure engagement from 0.014″ to 0.038″ wires. This eliminates the need for multiple handle SKUs across different intervention types. Internal stress distribution modeling ensures constant clamping pressure without deformation across wire sizes. The universal fit supports procedural standardization in multi-specialty cath labs.

How does Frigate validate mechanical reliability of the Catheter Guide Wire Handle during long-duration structural heart procedures?

Mechanical components undergo fatigue testing for over 10,000 torque cycles and 1,000 axial insertion strokes under simulated procedural loads. Frigate uses high-modulus polymers with stable creep behavior under sustained mechanical stress. Handles are validated using both static and dynamic simulation under cardiac intervention conditions. This ensures stable control over long durations without mechanical drift or failure.
