The Zebra guide wire is a kind of medical device mainly used in endoscopic and interventional procedures. It is a thin, flexible wire with a distinctive zebra - like striped pattern, which provides excellent visibility under fluoroscopy or endoscopic view.
This guide wire is commonly used in various medical fields. In gastroenterology, it is used during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) to guide the insertion of catheters or other instruments into the bile ducts or pancreatic ducts. In urology, it can be used to guide the placement of ureteral catheters or stents during procedures such as ureteroscopy. Additionally, in some vascular - like interventions within the body, such as in the renal pelvis or other tubular structures, the Zebra guide wire helps to ensure the accurate placement of devices by providing a stable guide path. Overall, the Zebra guide wire plays a crucial role in facilitating precise and safe medical procedures in different parts of the body where catheter or stent placement is required.
The tapered and reduceddiameter design enhances the flexibility ofinsertion andimproves the success rate of surgery.
