This guidewire has a large stainless steel core with a flat‑wire outer coil, giving it high shaft rigidity for tracking and supporting catheters, sheaths, and other devices through tortuous anatomy in vascular and urologic procedures.

The PTFE coating reduces friction to facilitate smooth device exchanges, while the soft straight tip (3.5 cm flexible “floppy” section) helps minimize trauma to vessel or ureteral walls during advancement.

Key features

• Size: 0.035 in diameter × 145 cm working length, packaged sterile; typically supplied 5 per box in the Amplatz Super Stiff family.
• Construction: flat‑wire outer coil over a large‑core stainless steel shaft for extra stiffness and stability during catheter placement and tract dilatation.
• Coating: PTFE lubricious coating to decrease friction and ease insertion and device exchange.
• Tip: straight, soft, atraumatic 3.5 cm flexible (“floppy”) tip intended to reduce risk of perforation while navigating vessels or the urinary tract.
