EmeryGlide™ MR Conditional Guidewire

Device-Type

Mandril/Specialty Guidewires

Targated Speciality

Endovascular

Manufacturer

B. Braun Interventional Systems

Safe by Design

  • The EmeryGlide is constructed from a high strength core composite of glass fibers and polymers, protected by a double winding of aramid fibers embedded in polymer.
  • There is a full body (tip to end) PTFE sleeve that minimizes intravascular friction and protects the tip and shaft from breakage.
  • The distal tip of the EmeryGlide is marked with 3 discrete markers containing different nanoparticles that enable visibility under MRI as well as fluoroscopy.
  • The passive markers are positioned 0cm, 2cm and 4cm from the straight or angled tip.

Features and Benefits

MR Conditional Statement

Non‐clinical testing has demonstrated that the EmeryGlide MR Guidewire is MR Conditional. A patient with this device can be safely scanned in an MR system meeting the following conditions:

  • Static magnetic field of 1.5 or 3.0 T
  • Maximum spatial field gradient of 3600 Gauss/cm (36.0 T/m) for 1.5 T systems
  • Maximum spatial field gradient of 1800 Gauss/cm (18.0 T/m) for 3.0 T systems
  • Maximum MR system reported, whole body averaged specific absorption rate (SAR) of 4.0 W/kg (First Level Operating Mode at 1.5 T)
  • Maximum MR system reported, whole body averaged specific absorption rate (SAR) of 4.0 W/kg (First Level Operating Mode at 3.0 T)
