Specialty guidewires for coronary interventions

Teleflex offers a range of guidewires to meet the needs of your complex coronary procedures.

R350™ Guidewire

350 cm nitinol core for externalization

The R350™ Guidewire combines a 350 cm length for externalization with a nitinol core for flexibility and kink resistance, resulting in excellent deliverability during advancement through tortuous vessels.



Designed for performance

  • Nitinol core facilitates flexibility and kink-resistance
  • 5 cm gold-plated tungsten coil for radiopacity
  • Durable, hydrophilic coating on distal 200 cm for lubricity
  • 0.013” OD for robust support during device delivery

Nitinol core for improved kink-resistance*

*All values are based on bench test data, n=5, performed by Teleflex. Comparative data may not be indicative of clinical performance.

Spectre™ Guidewire

At the core of performance — The 0.014” workhorse powerhouse

The Spectre™ Guidewire dual-core design offers an ideal combination of trackability, torque control and kink resistance for a high-performance guidewire with excellent deliverability.


Dual-core for ideal control

  • Proximal stainless steel core combines pushability with support for optimal device delivery
  • Planar surfaces of proximal stainless steel and distal nitinol cores are welded without protrusions or depressions providing excellent torque transmission
  • Tapered core extends to tip for added durability and tactile response
  • Distal nitinol core is highly flexible and kink-resistant for increased durability
  • Distal coil spacing for added flexibility

  1. Penetration power refers to the labeled tip load divided by the cross sectional area of the tip.
  2. All values are based on bench test data, n=15, performed by Teleflex. All values are analyzed with 95% confidence as a percentage of means. Bench test results may not be indicative of clinical performance.
  3. Durability refers to lubricity as measured over time (25 cycles).

Raider™ Guidewire

The clear choice for unclear paths

The Raider™ Guidewire is a mid-tip load, non-tapered, polymer jacketed specialty wire with a unique tip designed to meet the demands of complex lesions and precise wire techniques.


Unmatched visibility

The Raider™ Guidewire features a 10 cm radiopaque tip compared to the Pilot™ 200 Guidewire’s 3 cm radiopaque tip. The Raider™ Guidewire’s extended radiopaque tip length is designed to promote precise positioning under fluoroscopy.

Superior tip load and penetration power

The Raider™ Guidewire is designed with a tip load and penetration power to stand up to tougher occlusions.2

Lubricious coating

More durable and lubricious than Pilot™ 200 Guidewire,4 the Raider™ Guidewire coating is designed to minimize friction during prolonged cases.

Competitive support profile

The Raider™ Guidewire provides a support profile designed for complex wire techniques.
