ASAHI Halberd®: High-Penetration Peripheral CTO Wire for Calcified Femoropopliteal and Tibial Occlusions
By Modern Medical Solutions Editorial Team
ASAHI Halberd® delivers focused high tip-load penetration through a tapered 0.014 in distal tip, designed for hard, calcified femoropopliteal and infrapopliteal CTO caps that resist standard peripheral CTO wires.
What Is Halberd and What Is It Used For?
Halberd is an Asahi Intecc product designed for calcified femoropopliteal and infrapopliteal CTO intervention. Its engineering characteristics are optimised for the specific anatomical and procedural challenges of hard, calcified CTO caps that have resisted Treasure 12 and standard peripheral wires.
The product is available in 0.014 in diameter, 200 cm and 300 cm peripheral 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 Halberd in Peripheral Vascular Intervention
Halberd occupies a specific position within the peripheral vascular interventional equipment strategy, addressing the technical requirements of calcified femoropopliteal and infrapopliteal CTO intervention that are not fully met by standard peripheral equipment.
Operators selecting Halberd for their caseload will find it most useful in cases involving hard, calcified CTO caps that have resisted Treasure 12 and standard peripheral wires. The product’s design characteristics are aligned with the specific demands of this anatomical and procedural context.
Technical Specifications: 0.014 in diameter, 200 cm and 300 cm peripheral working lengths
Halberd is specified for 0.014 in diameter, 200 cm and 300 cm peripheral 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 Halberd 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 Halberd into Your CLI or Peripheral Vascular Programme
Halberd 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, Halberd represents one component of a complete Asahi Intecc peripheral product portfolio.
