Coronary guidewires are a type of catheter used in interventional cardiology procedures. They are thin, flexible wires that are inserted into the coronary arteries to help guide other catheters and devices during the procedure. The guidewire is typically inserted first, followed by other catheters and devices such as balloons, stents, and wires. The guidewire helps to ensure that the other devices are placed in the correct location. Coronary guidewires are designed to be flexible and strong, allowing them to navigate through the coronary arteries and reach the desired location. They are also designed to be resistant to kinking and buckling, which can cause complications during the procedure. The coronary guidewire market is highly competitive, with many companies offering a variety of guidewires for different procedures. Some of the major players in the market include Abbott, Boston Scientific, Medtronic, Terumo, and Cook Medical. Show Less Read more
