Enter the Dragon: Hybrid Microguidewire

At this conference, the Microguidewire "hybrid" from Balt made its first public appearance at the new technology and new product forum. Professor Lu Ming of Tiantan Hospital shared his unique experiences with hybrid microguidewires. Prof. Lu Ming used his expert technology to break through the complex anatomical structures with his "Hybrid 1214DA" which has a double-angle-shaped tip and a pre-molded tip end. Those classic cases are impressive. Balt hopes that this revolutionary product will relieve more patients suffering from cerebrovascular disease.
