Catheter-exchange guidewire holder

This category includes sterile, single-use hand-held devices designed to assist during guidewire-assisted intravascular procedures. They are used to hold a guidewire securely in place while one catheter is exchanged for another, helping to maintain vessel access without losing wire position. The device typically features a clip for attachment to the procedural setup and a magnetic channel that grips the metal guidewire during catheter removal and replacement.

These devices are supplied as sterile, single-use items and are intended for one patient encounter only. They are designed to integrate mechanically with standard catheterization equipment and rely on magnetic force to retain the guidewire during exchanges. Regulatory classification and supply models vary by jurisdiction and are determined by the specific device and local requirements.
