"less thrombogenic compared to hydrophobic wires3"
"some hydrophobic wires (e.g. Bentson wire), can be soaked in heparinized saline to ease exchanges with tools and catheters, and to prevent thrombus formation around the wire2"
"Advantage of solid guide wireReduced catheter tip flaring. Reduced blood clotting over guide wire.Reduced vessel or lumen abrasion."
"Disadvantage of solid guide wire: lack of versatility.Wrapped guide wire"
"Advantages of wrapped guide wire: flexible. Disadvantages of wrapped guide wireCatheter tip flaring. Blood clotting over guide wire due to large and rough surface area which cause thrombogenicity. Vessel or lumen abrasion."
"It is type of guide wire with smallest outer diameter measuring in range of 0.001 - 0.018 inch"
"Guidewires are interventional procedures wires used to guide access, manoeuvre, or work through structures (e.g. vessels, urinary or biliary system)."
