HI-TORQUE PILOT¢â Guide Wire Family

When it comes to challenging cases, you are in total control.
The HI-TORQUE PILOT¢â guide wires are polymer-tipped and hydrophilic polymer coated. These wires are designed to give you a smooth, effortless feel with superb torque transmission and variable tip stiffness.

Guidant continues to pioneer guide wire technology with the HI-TORQUE PILOT¢â Family. Its unique tip and core design provides the combination of stiffness and control that physicians look for when crossing difficult lesions.


Tip Control
Modified RESPONSEASE™ parabolic-ground core for enhanced torque transmission1
Tip coils under a polymer cover designed for tip shape retention and tactile feedback
Core-to-Tip design for excellent control
DURASTEEL™ core material for excellent tip shape retention


Tip Options
Three levels of tip stiffness, for a graduated approach to treating difficult lesions
HI-TORQUE PILOT™ 50 guide wire has similar tip stiffness to ChoICE® PT and PT GRAPHIXTM INT


Additional Support
DURASTEEL™ material enhances core strength
Modified RESPONSEASE™ core delivers superb tracking while providing additional support1


Lesion Measuring Tool

• 15 mm spacing from radiopaque tip coils to single radiopaque marker2
