The gPASSLEh PTCA guidewire that Goodman will begin selling as an exclusive
sales agent achieves superior operability (flexibility) and high torqueability
through the excellent balance in stiffness of its distal tip and its hydrophilic
coating. Also, two types of wires with differing special characteristics
can be selected to best suit device application
There are also plans for the release of a CTO (chronic total occlusion)-use
