Extra supportive and lubricious guide wire with narrow loop retention.
PTA guide wires are critical tools in the treatment of peripheral artery disease. These slender and flexible wires serve as the initial navigational pathway through the peripheral arteries, leading the way for the delivery of other devices such as balloons and stents. Once inserted through a guide catheter, the guide wire is carefully manoeuvred through the peripheral arteries, crossing the lesion or blockage.
There are several characteristics of the wires, such as tip load, coating type and flexibility, which are tailored for specific clinical need, allowing the wire to traverse through vessels and lesions while minimising the risk of damaging the vessel walls.
Extra supportive and lubricious guide wire with narrow loop retention.
Frontline guide wire with polymer jacket, designed to retain flexibility and torque performance.
Tapered tip guide wire with superior penetration ability and tactile response ideal for highly calcified lesions.
Frontline guide wire with ACT ONE for increased torque response, ideal for a broad range of cases.
Durable and supportive, with one-to-one torque and lasting lubricity.
Highly supportive guide wire with modified distal core to increase narrow loop retention.
Very heavy tip load and tapered tip guide wire designed for penetrating thick, calcific caps.
Tapered tip guide wire with superior penetration ability and tactile response ideal for highly calcified lesions.

I have had the pleasure to work with various professionals from VP for over 15 years.
Over the years VP has distributed multiple interesting products related to the cathlab, mostly related to PCI. My interaction with VP started with the dedicated bifurcation stent Tryton and subsequently the ASAHI group of wires, Scorefl ex balloons, IVL balloons, Orbital atherectomy, guide extensions and vascular access closure devices.
All the kit promoted and distributed by VP have become mainstays in our routine and complex PCI.
More importantly over the last decade VP has developed a comprehensive educational portfolio especially in furthering the knowledge and spread of CTO PCI in UK and in AHP education.

I have enjoyed working closely with VP ever since we set up our CTO programme 10 years ago. They have been incredibly supportive from an educational and training perspective not just for the operators but also Cath Lab staff in general.
