Gaining access and passing instrumentation are the primary functions of ureteral guidewires. The BARD® U-NITE™ is designed for both functions. It is made of a Nitinol core wire with a hydrophilic-coated tip and a PTFE shaft. The flexible tip has a unique stainless steel-coiled wrapped Nitinol core tip. It is available in various wire sizes and tip configurations. It is packaged in a box of five with each wire individually packaged, sterile and for ready for single use.
