Keep your percutaneous tracheostomy service uninterrupted with the Portex spare guidewire.

Key Features & Benefits

Stainless-Steel Core with Hydrophilic Coating

• Low-Friction Advancement: Hydrophilic surface eases navigation through subcutaneous tissue

• Kink Resistance: Maintains shape under torsion, ensuring patency during serial dilations

Atraumatic Angled Tip

• Controlled Penetration: Soft, tapered tip reduces risk of tissue perforation and false passages

• Directional Control: Angled design supports precise targeting of the tracheal lumen

Optimal Length & Flexibility

• 110 cm Working Length: Accommodates a range of dilator sizes and patient anatomies

• Balanced Stiffness: Flexible enough to follow the needle tract but rigid enough to guide dilators

Sterile, Single-Use Packaging

• Aseptic Integrity: Gamma-irradiated pouch ensures sterility until deployment

• Ready Availability: Pack of five spares for rapid replacement during procedures

Clinical Applications

• Replacement guidewire for Portex percutaneous tracheostomy kits (e.g., PercuTwist®, Ciaglia™)
