The guidewire is inserted first — passed through an introducer sheath or catheter — and acts as a rail over which diagnostic catheters, balloon catheters, stent delivery systems, and other interventional devices are then tracked to the intended treatment site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RF*GS18153M is the 0.018\" variant of the Radifocus M Standard Type. At 0.018\" (0.46 mm) outer diameter, it is a micro-guidewire specifically suited to fine-calibre catheter systems used in peripheral vascular interventions, infra-popliteal (below-the-knee) arterial work, renal and visceral artery access, and coronary procedures — where smaller guide wire diameters are required to match the working channel of the catheter or microcatheter being used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe straight tip design (GS = guidewire, straight) means the distal 3 cm of the wire has no pre-formed curve. In vascular access, straight-tip guidewires are used when the operator intends to manually shape the tip before insertion, when passing through a straight or gently curving access path, or when navigating with the support of a shaped catheter positioned at the target vessel ostium. They are the standard choice for forward-tracking through vessels that do not require significant tip angulation for initial cannulation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSupplied across India by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShah Trading Corporation, Mumbai\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e — trusted distributor and supplier of Terumo interventional and vascular access products.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cimg\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKey Features\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMcoat Hydrophilic Polymer Coating -\u003c\/strong\u003e The entire wire surface — from proximal shaft to the rounded tip — is coated with Terumo's proprietary Mcoat hydrophilic polymer. When activated by moisture, this coating transitions from a dry, handleable state to a near-frictionless lubricious surface. This dramatically reduces the force required to advance the wire through tortuous, calcified, or heavily diseased vessel segments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuperelastic Nitinol Core - \u003c\/strong\u003eNitinol (nickel-titanium alloy) has a unique property called superelasticity — it can be bent to very tight radii and returns to its original shape without permanent deformation. This prevents the wire from kinking when navigating acute vessel angles, and allows device exchange without the wire losing its shape during the procedure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTungsten-Loaded Radiopaque Polyurethane Jacket -\u003c\/strong\u003e Tungsten is a dense, radiopaque metal. By loading it into the polyurethane jacket surrounding the nitinol core, Terumo makes the entire wire shaft visible under fluoroscopy — not just the tip. The operator can track the full position of the wire in real time during navigation, confirming the wire path through bifurcations and preventing unrecognised wire kinking inside the vessel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne-to-One Torque Transmission -\u003c\/strong\u003e The one-piece construction and nitinol core deliver direct torque response — when the operator turns the proximal end 90°, the distal tip turns 90°. This 1:1 torque fidelity allows confident directional steering in bifurcations and ostia, particularly important when using a straight-tip wire that depends on precise rotation to select the target vessel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRounded Atraumatic Distal Tip -\u003c\/strong\u003e The wire terminates in a rounded, smooth tip — not a point. This distributes the contact force across a larger surface area when the wire meets a vessel wall, reducing the risk of intimal puncture, dissection, or perforation. It is particularly important in 0.018\" wires where the small diameter concentrates force at the tip in fragile or diseased vessel segments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"eyebrow\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-wrap\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eParameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReference Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRF*GS18153M\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOuter Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.018\" (0.46 mm nominal)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTotal Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e150 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDistal Flexible Tip Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 cm (30 mm) — Standard tip length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDistal Tip Shape\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStraight (no pre-formed curve)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDistal Tip End\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRounded, atraumatic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCore Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNitinol (nickel-titanium alloy) — superelastic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRadiopaque Jacket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolyurethane loaded with tungsten — full-length fluoroscopic visibility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSurface Coating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMcoat™ hydrophilic polymer — full-length, activated by moisture\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWire Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard Type (vascular) — denoted by * in reference code\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOne-piece — no joints; 1:1 torque transmission\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSterility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSterile — single use only\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLatex Content\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLatex-free\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnits per Box\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 guidewires\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTerumo Corporation — Japan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStorage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCool, dry place; keep sealed until point of use\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"SHAH TRADING CORPORATION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49513229648100,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/1573\/9876\/files\/TerumoRFGuidewire18153M-Straight-1.jpg?v=1785152253","url":"https:\/\/www.stcsurgical.com\/products\/terumo-radifocus-guide-wire-gs18153m","provider":"SHAH TRADING CORPORATION","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
