Hybrid workhorse guide wires combine the key advantages of nitinol wires and stainless steel wires.
Don't Compromise. Take Command.
Hi-Torque Command™ 18 ST

Crossing wire, with 10 cm nitinol at distal end, provides high support and a flexible tip (4g) for crossing lesions or prolapsing in a tight loop.
Hi-Torque Command™ 18 LT

Navigation wire, with 25 cm nitinol at distal end, provides flexible support and a soft tip (4g) to effectively track through tortuous peripheral vessels.
Durable and Shapeable Tip
- Shapeable flattened nitinol tip maintains its shape after prolapse and re-shaping
- Durable tip shape helps minimize multiple guide wire usage
Outstanding Torque Control
- Parabolic core for excellent torque control
- Transitionless weld for torque transmission
Core Material and Coating
- High tensile strength stainless steel for excellent torque, push and support
- Polymer cover with hydrophilic coating for smooth navigation
