PLATFORM TECHNOLOGIES

Innovative Platform Technologies
Lake Region Medical's platform of proprietary technologies deliver superior performance over conventional wire designs during cardiovascular, peripheral and neurovascular interventions.

Twister Core Wire Technology

Play Video >

Optimize Performance in Complex Anatomy
TWISTER™ Core Wire Technology is designed to optimize wire control in complex anatomy by providing a balance of support and kink-resistance.

A proprietary process stimulates micro lattice refinement of the core wire alloy to enable “hybrid” design characteristics. Product designs employing TWISTER™ Technology will benefit from the support of a stainless steel alloy and enhanced shape-resistance properties necessary to deliver superior torque control during even the most challenging cases.

Features & Benefits

	Improves resistance to wire deformation without compromising wire support or pushability
	Enhances torque control (steering) by reducing core twisting during torsional transfer
	Reduces tip shape loss during the procedure to facilitate vessel selection and reselection

Technology Profile

Material: Stainless Steel
Description: Proprietary manufacturing process
Key Characteristics: Enhanced torque, kink-resistance, SST support equivalence, core wire durability

Microridge Core Wire Technology

Boost Torque Control
MICRORIDGE™ extends guidewire control to the fingertips of physicians.

Industry-exclusive stabilizing ridge minimizes twisting in the distal core flat providing superior torque control (20% more torque when compared to non-ridged designs). Additionally, MICRORIDGE™ improves pushability by directing force to the distal tip minimizing tip prolapse.

Features & Benefits:

	Delivers superior torque control (1:1 transmission) retention by minimizing twisting in the distal core flat
	Improves guidewire delivery by minimizing tip prolapse and directing proximal “push” forces in the direction of the distal tip

Technology Profile

Material: Stainless Steel
Description: Stabilizing ridge extending from distal core taper into flat
Key Characteristics: Enhanced torque (20% increase), improved distal tracking

Wedge Crossing Technology

Improve Access to Highly Stenosed Lesions
Industry-exclusive WEDGE™ Tip Technology improves probing and crossing of highly-stenosed lesions.

Combine WEDGE™ Tip Technology with a MICRORIDGE™ Core Technology for additional support and pushability to maximize guidewire performance in the most extreme cases.

Features & Benefits:

	Atraumatic rounded wedge shape reduces tip profile (.005”) and facilitates lesion probing
	Distal support is maximized by its unique 90 degree orientation to the core ribbon

Technology Profile

Material: Stainless Steel
Description:Tapered wedge tip oriented 90 degrees to core ribbon
Key Characteristics: Low profile (.005”) wedge tip profile enhances probing and crossing of highly-stenosed lesions

Deflector Side-Brand Access Technology

Enhance Side-Branch Access
DEFLECTOR™ Technology utilizes a unique core flat design to improve access to acutely angled, side branch vessels.

Designs employing this technology benefit from reduced tip prolapse and improved transmission of forces in the direction of the distal tip for improved tracking.

Features & Benefits:

	Resists tip prolapse in parent vessel for controlled access to acutely angled side branches
	Directs proximal “push” forces in the direction of the distal tip

Technology Profile

Material: Stainless Steel
Description: Core flat oriented in the same directional plane as J-shape
Key Characteristics: Reduced prolapse in main vessel, directs “push” forces in direction of distal tip
