ASAHI Gladius® MG18 PV ES: MG CTO Platform in 0.018 in Peripheral Format for the 0.018 in Device System
By Modern Medical Solutions Editorial Team
Gladius MG18 PV ES brings the MG composite core CTO crossing platform to the 0.018 in peripheral wire format, providing high-penetration rotational crossing capability for operators using 0.018 in-compatible peripheral interventional systems.
What Is Gladius MG18 PV ES and What Is It Used For?
Gladius MG18 PV ES is an Asahi Intecc product designed for femoropopliteal CTO intervention for operators whose device system is 0.018 in-compatible, where maintaining a single wire platform through crossing and device delivery is desirable. Its engineering characteristics are optimised for the specific anatomical and procedural challenges of fibrous and moderately calcified femoropopliteal CTO caps in the 0.018 in system, where the MG core crossing mechanics provide intermediate penetration between standard 0.018 in frontline wires and maximum tip-load options.
The product is available in 0.018 in (0.46 mm), 200 cm and 300 cm working lengths. Modern Medical Solutions is the authorised Asahi Intecc distributor for Tajikistan and Afghanistan. Contact Modern Medical Solutions to confirm availability and technical specifications for your centre’s application.
Clinical Role of Gladius MG18 PV ES in Peripheral Vascular Intervention
Gladius MG18 PV ES occupies a specific position within the peripheral vascular interventional equipment strategy, addressing the technical requirements of femoropopliteal CTO intervention for operators whose device system is 0.018 in-compatible, where maintaining a single wire platform through crossing and device delivery is desirable that are not fully met by standard peripheral equipment.
Operators selecting Gladius MG18 PV ES for their caseload will find it most useful in cases involving fibrous and moderately calcified femoropopliteal CTO caps in the 0.018 in system, where the MG core crossing mechanics provide intermediate penetration between standard 0.018 in frontline wires and maximum tip-load options. The product’s design characteristics are aligned with the specific demands of this anatomical and procedural context.
Technical Specifications: 0.018 in (0.46 mm), 200 cm and 300 cm working lengths
Gladius MG18 PV ES is specified for 0.018 in (0.46 mm), 200 cm and 300 cm working lengths. These specifications determine the product’s compatibility with peripheral interventional equipment, the range of anatomical targets it can reach, and the procedural steps it supports within the CLI or peripheral vascular intervention workflow.
Operators considering Gladius MG18 PV ES for their centre should review these specifications against their existing equipment inventory to confirm compatibility with the guidewires, microcatheters, and device delivery systems in current use.
Integrating Gladius MG18 PV ES into Your CLI or Peripheral Vascular Programme
Gladius MG18 PV ES integrates into a comprehensive peripheral vascular programme as part of a systematically managed equipment inventory that covers the full range of access, crossing, and device delivery requirements for CLI and peripheral arterial disease cases.
For centres establishing or expanding a peripheral vascular intervention programme in Tajikistan or Afghanistan, Gladius MG18 PV ES represents one component of a complete Asahi Intecc peripheral product portfolio.
