Doc Guide Wire Extension

The DOC Guide Wire Extension is a *PTFE-coated stainless steel guide wire attachment that is 0.014 inches (nominal) in diameter and 145 centimeters (nominal) in length. It is exclusively compatible with wires of the HI-TORQUE Guide Wire Series which have been modified for the attachment of the DOC Guide Wire Extension. Check the label of the HI-TORQUE Guide Wire selected for use with the DOC Guide Wire extension to confirm that the wire is extendable.

The DOC Guide Wire Extension is packaged with an insertion device to facilitate the extension procedure. The attachment of the DOC Guide Wire Extension to the HI-TORQUE Guide Wire creates a 320-centimeter (nominal) length guide wire for the exchange of dilatation catheters. When the exchange procedure is complete, the DOC Guide Wire Extension is detachable. A maximum of four detachments is recommended.
