Cook Amplatz Fixed Extra Stiff Core Wire Guide G53562
The Amplatz Fixed Extra Stiff Core Wire Guide G53562 is a medical guide wire used in urology and interventional procedures to help place catheters or other devices. It features a fixed-core stainless steel shaft with a flexible tip for smooth navigation. This guide wire helps establish a tract and support device placement during insertion or exchange.
This wire guide offers extra-stiff shaft support to provide stability during catheter or device advancement — especially useful in difficult anatomy or when using heavier instruments. Its flexible tip allows for atraumatic navigation through tubes or vessels, reducing risk of tissue damage. The PTFE coating minimizes friction, making device passage smoother and aiding in precise placement. Because of its stiffness and reliable core, it acts as a stable “rail” for exchanges or placement of medical devices during urological procedures.
