Cook BiWire Nitinol Core Stiff Body Wire Guides G46138
The BiWire Nitinol Core Stiff Body Wire Guide G46138 is a sterile nitinol-core urological guidewire designed for ureteral access and device placement. It has a 0.035-inch diameter and 150 cm length, with dual flexible tips (straight at one end, angled at the other). The product is supplied in a box of 5 wire guides for clinical use.
The G46138 guidewire offers a stiff-body shaft to help straighten tortuous ureters or navigate difficult anatomical pathways during urological interventions. Its nitinol core provides flexibility, kink resistance, and reliable one-to-one torque control, helping maintain control when advancing catheters or stents. The dual-tip design (straight and angled) gives the surgeon flexibility to choose the best tip orientation for optimal access or device exchange. The hydrophilic coating reduces friction during insertion, facilitating smooth navigation and minimizing potential trauma to the urothelium.
