The PiggyBack® Wire Converter is useful for peripheral procedures requiring a 0.014” guidewire for easier access and a 0.035” guidewire for more support. The PiggyBack® Wire Converter is designed to convert a 0.014” guidewire to a 0.035” platform without losing vessel placement or exchanging guidewires.
The PiggyBack® Wire Converter is intended to be used with guidewires to access the peripheral vasculature and to facilitate placement of interventional devices.
