Problem
Neurovascular interventions often require navigating highly tortuous intracerebral vessels, a process that can be time‑consuming and technically demanding. Traditional guidewires need manual tip shaping, which reduces procedural efficiency and can increase the risk of complications.
Solution
Artiria Medical’s SmartGUIDE guidewire incorporates a dynamic, deflectable tip that can be reshaped in situ, allowing physicians to adjust the wire’s curvature without removing it from the patient. The system provides consistent torque transmission and an intuitive single‑hand pusher button for precise tip deflection, reducing the need for manual hand shaping. A soft, atraumatic 0.014 in × 200 cm shaft with a market‑leading hydrophilic coating enables smooth navigation through delicate cerebral vessels. The adjustable, removable proximal handle can be positioned as needed, supporting flexible workflow. Together, these features aim to improve procedural speed, accuracy, and confidence when accessing challenging neurovascular targets.
Target Audience
Primary customers are endovascular surgeons, interventional neuroradiologists, and other specialists performing minimally invasive neurovascular procedures.
