Cook Amplatz Fixed Extra Stiff Core Wire Guide G53558
The Amplatz Fixed Extra Stiff Core Wire Guide G53558 is a medical guidewire used in urological procedures to establish ureteral access and provide a firm rail for device placement. It has a stainless-steel fixed core with PTFE coating to reduce friction and facilitate smooth passage. The wire has a 0.025-inch diameter, 145 cm length, and a 5 cm flexible straight tip.
This extra-stiff version of the Amplatz guidewire is designed to give surgeons maximum support and pushability when advancing catheters, stents or other urological devices through the urinary tract. The stainless-steel core maintains rigidity under pressure, preventing buckling and providing a stable “rail” for device delivery. The PTFE coating reduces friction during insertion and manipulation, helping minimize trauma to tissue and easing device exchange. The 5 cm flexible tip offers atraumatic navigation at the distal end while the stiff shaft ensures strong support — especially useful in challenging anatomy or when precise device placement is needed.
