ARISTOTLE® 18 Guidewire
The Aristotle® 18 Guidewire is the first of its kind, 0.018-inch, high-performance microfabricated wire best utilized with 0.021-inch and 0.027-inch catheters.

A tailored approach
With increased distal tip softness in comparison to the Aristotle® 14 Guidewire, the Aristotle® 18 Guidewire doesn't skimp on proximal support. It is provided in three profiles to best fit physician preference.
Simon says
Compared to leading interventional guidewires, the Aristotle® 18 achieves near one-to-one torque, even when challenged in a tortuous model.
Bigger performance
The Aristotle® 18 Guidewire implements a variation in cut pattern geometries, which results in more proximal support. This increase in proximal support is greater than that seen in smaller guidewires for when flow diverters, web devices, or clot-retrievers may be needed for treatment.

The Aristotle® 18 Guidewire is intended for general vascular use within the neuro and peripheral vasculatures to introduce and position catheters and other interventional devices. The guidewire is not intended for use in the coronary vasculature.
None known.
- The Aristotle® 18 Guidewire should be manipulated under fluoroscopy. Do not attempt to move the guidewire without observing the resulting tip response. Advance and withdraw the guidewire slowly and carefully. Never advance or withdraw the guidewire against resistance that is felt or observed under fluoroscopy until the cause of the resistance is determined. Movement of the guidewire against resistance may result in damage to the guidewire or injury to the patient.
- Confirm the compatibility of the guidewire and other devices being used in the procedure.
