ConMed FX Straight Guidewires — .035″ Diameter, 260cm & 450cm Lengths (FX35260S, FX35450S)

Description

ConMed FX Straight Guidewires are designed to provide reliable duct access, navigation, and device support during ERCP and other interventional endoscopic procedures. The straight-tip configuration supports direct advancement through the papilla and into the biliary or pancreatic duct while maintaining consistent torque response and positional stability.

The FX platform is optimized for standard .035″ guidewire workflows and is available in multiple lengths to accommodate different procedural techniques and device exchange requirements. The longer 450cm version is intended for cases where maintaining wire access across multiple device exchanges is critical, while the 260cm version supports standard single-device workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the benefit of a straight guidewire tip?
   A straight tip allows for direct advancement into the duct and is preferred in cases where anatomy is straightforward and minimal deflection is needed.
2. When should I use a 450cm guidewire instead of a 260cm?
   Use the 450cm guidewire when multiple device exchanges are planned and maintaining wire access is important throughout the procedure.
3. Are FX guidewires compatible with standard ERCP devices?
   Yes. FX guidewires are designed to be compatible with standard ERCP cannulas, balloons, and papillotomes that accept .035″ guidewires.
4. Are these guidewires single-use?
   Yes. FX guidewires are typically supplied as single-use devices and should be disposed of after each procedure.
