Vascular guidewires are thin, flexible wires used in conjunction with catheters to navigate through the vascular system. They are typically made of stainless steel, nitinol, or other materials that are resistant to corrosion and kinking. The guidewire is inserted through the catheter and used to guide the catheter to the desired location in the vascular system. The guidewire is then removed, leaving the catheter in place. Vascular guidewires are used in a variety of medical procedures, including angioplasty, stenting, and thrombectomy. They are also used to access the vascular system for diagnostic purposes, such as angiography and ultrasound imaging. The market for vascular guidewires is highly competitive, with a number of companies offering a wide range of products. Some of the major players in the market include Abbott, Boston Scientific, Cook Medical, Medtronic, and Terumo. Show Less Read more
