The Meridan MERI3815A is a hybrid PTFE/nitinol guide wire designed for urological procedures requiring access, navigation, and device placement within the urinary tract. Featuring a nitinol core for superior kink resistance and flexibility, the guide wire is coated with PTFE to provide a smooth, low-friction surface that facilitates advancement and device tracking. A hydrophilic tip further enhances maneuverability through tortuous or obstructed anatomy, making this guide wire ideal for stone management and endourological interventions.
