Introduction to Zebra Hydrophilic Guide Wire – Enhanced Navigation with Superior Flexibility
The Zebra Hydrophilic Guide Wire is a flexible, high-performance wire designed to facilitate smooth access and navigation through the urinary tract during endourological procedures. It features a lubricious hydrophilic coating and a distinct striped (zebra) pattern for superior visibility and handling. This guide wire is widely used for catheter placement, stent insertion, and navigating tight ureters or tortuous anatomies.
Development & Evolution – From Standard Wires to Striped Hydrophilic Innovation
Named for its alternating black and white striped design, the Zebra Guide Wire was developed to improve visibility under fluoroscopy and provide urologists with a safe and reliable tool for accessing the urinary tract. Its hydrophilic coating enhances maneuverability, reducing trauma during insertion.
