ASAHI Meister®: Torqueable, Shapeable, Trackable — Asahi’s 0.016 in IR Guidewire
By Modern Medical Solutions Editorial Team
A stainless-steel core that re-shapes at the table, ACT ONE 1:1 torque transmission and a long polymer jacket make Meister the natural wire companion to the Tellus and Veloute microcatheters.
The Manufacturer’s Three Words
Asahi summarises ASAHI Meister® as torqueable, shapeable and trackable. It is the company’s 0.41 mm (0.016 in) guidewire for peripheral vascular intervention and interventional radiology — a calibre that pairs with modern selective microcatheters.
Construction
ACT ONE construction provides precise one-to-one torque transmission for selective vessel work. The stainless-steel core — in contrast to nitinol-core wires — allows the tip to be shaped and re-shaped easily at the table, and a long polymer jacket (130–175 cm depending on length) with matching hydrophilic coating enhances tracking through tortuous anatomy.
Configurations
Factory tip shapes include angled 45°, round curve and angled double across 135, 165 and 180 cm usable lengths, each with a 30 cm distal coil and 5 cm radiopaque segment — nine published catalog configurations in total.
Companion Devices and Ordering
Meister is the natural wire companion to the ASAHI Tellus and Veloute microcatheters, which accept up to 0.016 in wires. For ordering and clinical support, contact Modern Medical Solutions. Manufacturer specifications available at medical.asahi-intecc.com.
