Fielder® XT-A/XT-RProduct Code (REF): APW14R009S
Fielder® XT-A and Fielder® XT-R are second-generation refinements to the Fielder XT CTO guidewire platform, each addressing a specific gap in the original wire's performance. Fielder XT-A (Advanced) stiffens the proximal shaft relative to Fielder XT while keeping an identical tapered tip geometry — the result is improved pushability and column strength once an initial path has been identified, allowing the wire to advance further into the occlusion without the buckling that sometimes occurs when pushing a softer shaft against a resistant lesion. Tip load on XT-A is approximately 1 gf, up from XT's 0.8 gf. Fielder XT-R (Reverse) takes the opposite approach: it softens the tip to approximately 0.6 gf while keeping the same proximal shaft stiffness as XT-A. XT-R is preferred when the antegrade wire has already crossed the occlusion and is suspected to be in a subintimal space — the softer tip allows controlled re-entry into the true lumen with less risk of perforation than a higher-load wire. Both wires share the same 0.010/0.014 in tapered tip, 17 cm polymer + hydrophilic coating, and are available in 190 cm and 300 cm lengths.
Available under product codes APW14R009S, APW14R309S, APW14R005S, APW14R305S.

Request DocumentationFrequently Asked Questions
- What is Fielder® XT-A and how does it differ from Fielder XT?
- Fielder® XT-A (Advanced) is a second-generation refinement of Fielder XT that stiffens the proximal shaft while keeping an identical tapered 0.010/0.014 in tip geometry. The result is improved pushability and column strength — the wire can advance further into the occlusion body without buckling once a microchannel entry point has been identified. Tip load on XT-A is approximately 1.0 gf, up from XT’s 0.8 gf.
- What catalog numbers are available for Fielder® XT-A?
- Fielder XT-A: APW14R010S (Straight, 190 cm) and APW14R310S (Straight, 300 cm). Fielder XT-R: APW14R005S (Straight, 190 cm) and APW14R305S (Straight, 300 cm). All four share a 0.010/0.014 in tapered outer diameter, 16 cm coil length, 16 cm radiopaque segment, and 17 cm polymer + hydrophilic coating.
- When should I use Fielder XT-A versus Fielder XT-R?
- Use Fielder XT-A when the standard Fielder XT has found a microchannel path but lacks the pushability to advance far enough into the occlusion body — XT-A’s stiffer proximal shaft gives the additional column strength needed. Use Fielder XT-R when the antegrade wire has crossed the occlusion and is likely subintimal — XT-R’s softer 0.6 gf tip allows controlled re-entry into the true lumen with lower perforation risk than a higher-load wire.
- What microcatheter pairs best with Fielder XT-A?
- Fielder XT-A is used with a supportive microcatheter immediately behind it — typically ASAHI Corsair Pro or Caravel. The microcatheter prevents buckling under the XT-A’s higher column load, enables guidewire exchange once the wire has crossed, and can be advanced independently into the occlusion body using its rotational drilling motion.
- What is the coating on Fielder XT-A?
- Fielder XT-A has a polymer jacket over the proximal shaft with a 17 cm polymer + hydrophilic coating on the distal segment. The polymer jacket is the key difference from the original Fielder XT (which uses a full hydrophilic coating): by stiffening the shaft, it provides the pushability improvement that defines the XT-A over the base XT.
