ASAHI SION BLACK
Frontline, polymer jacketed guide wire designed to retain flexibility.

Polymer Jacket + Composite Guide Wire
Designed with greater lubricity, control and durability.
Improved flexibility
ASAHI SION black is more flexible than conventional polymer jacket guide wires, for improved safety and vessel trackability.
Durable tip for shape retention
Composite Guide Wire is designed to maintain tip shape for vessel selectivity and catheter positioning.
Precise torque response
Composite Guide Wire provides precise torque response in tortuous vessel.

- Polymer Jacket provides greater lubricity compared to spring coil guide wires.

- ASAHI SION black shows better lubricity compared with spring coil type wires.


- ASAHI SION black is very flexible compared with Fielder FC, similar to spring coil type wires.
Recommended use;
- Severe stenosis
- Tortuous lesions
- Long, calcified lesions
- Collateral channel tracking
Tracking Test
- The test method is to pass guide wire to a continuous curve of 1 mm radius.

After Test
- ASAHI SION black retain control after passing heavy stenosis and tortuosity.
