Features & Benefits
PROVEN TO DELIVER BETTER TORQUE RESPONSE1
Comparative torque testing shows the Merit SplashWire consistently meets the 1:1 torque target, unlike the market leader’s exaggerated torque response. As seen in the chart below, bars closest to the target line indicate true one-to-one torqueability.
KINK RESISTANCE, COMPATIBILITY, LUBRICITY
Kink-resistant nitinol core allows wire to maintain shape while navigating tortuous anatomy.
Compatible with other devices for excellent trackability through challenging vasculature.
Lubricious surface reduces friction and insertion forces when crossing complex lesions.
TRAVERSE DIFFICULT LESIONS
Achieve Successful Clinical Outcomes.
Resilient Hydrophilic Coating
Provides a constant fluid layer on wire surface for enhanced lesion crossability.
Nitinol Core
Delivers true 1:1 torque response for smooth navigation in tortuous vessels.1
Tungsten-Infused Polymer Jacket
Combined with the nitinol core wire, boosts visualization under fluoroscopy for accurate positioning.
TACKLE PROCEDURAL CHALLENGES WITH SPLASHWIRE OPTIONS
ANGLED AND STRAIGHT TIPS
For added flexibility when you need it.
STIFF CONFIGURATION
When more support and pushability are desired.
SEADRAGON2™ TORQUE DEVICE
May be used to enhance manipulation of the guide wire tip.
TRANSRADIAL HYDROPHILIC CHOICES
Angled and Straight –
220 cm wire lengths when utilizing radial access
