The Meridian MERI3515A is a PTFE-coated nitinol guide wire designed for urological procedures that require reliable access, navigation, and device placement within the urinary tract. This hybrid guide wire combines the super-elasticity and kink resistance of a nitinol core with the smooth, low-friction surface of a PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) coating. The design enables atraumatic advancement and precise control, making it well-suited for both routine and complex endourological interventions. The MERI3515A model typically features a 0.035" diameter and 150 cm length.
