Product catalog summary
Overview: The PiggyBack® Wire Converter is a medical device designed to convert 0.014" guidewire procedures into 0.035" possibilities, facilitating the delivery of larger devices without losing vessel placement.

Specifications: The converter has a 0.035" outer diameter (O.D.) and a 0.0166" inner diameter (I.D.), allowing it to be delivered over a standard 0.014" guidewire.
