Peripheral Interventions

Overview

Navigate challenging cases with the Wholey™* guidewire system, available in different tip configurations, in different levels of support and flexibility, and in a variety of lengths. The device's proprietary precoating technology provides a consistent coating over the entire coil for a smoother interaction with interventional devices.
