Covidien

Covidien (Booth 816) is displaying its Wholey family of guidewires, including the Wholey Hi-Torque Modified J that is designed to access complex or tortuous anatomy. Its pre-shaped flexible tip (120 degrees) enhances steerability; 1:1 torque results in manipulation and its gold tip provides better radiographic visualization. Other available guidewires include the Wholey Hi-Torque Floppy steerable guidewire, Wholey Hi-Torque Standard steerable guidewire, Wholey Hi-Torque Plus steerable guidewire, TAD steerable guidewire, TAD II steerable guidewire, Hi-Torque Flex-T steerable guidewire and LOC Extension.
