Gastro-urological guidewire, reusable

35 devices · GMDN 46690

Gastro-urological guidewires are flexible, reusable tools designed to help doctors navigate and position catheters, endoscopes, or other instruments through the gastrointestinal or urinary tracts. Their coiled metal core, often coated with plastic like PTFE, provides both flexibility and durability for repeated use in procedures.

These devices are typically regulated as reusable medical instruments, subject to strict cleaning, sterilization, and maintenance protocols to ensure patient safety. They may include radiopaque markings for real-time imaging guidance during procedures, but classification varies by jurisdiction and intended use.
