MicroVention Traxcess® 14 Guidewire GW1420040
The MicroVention Traxcess® 14 Guidewire GW1420040 is a 0.014-inch x 200 cm hydrophilic neurovascular guidewire designed to provide smooth catheter navigation, balanced support, and controlled access in challenging distal anatomy. Terumo Neuro describes the Traxcess® platform as the first neuro guidewire with hybrid technology, developed to combine flexibility, support, and torque response in a single wire.
The GW1420040 configuration is commonly listed as the Traxcess 14 Soft Guidewire, 0.014" x 200 cm, and retailer listings describe it as a hydrophilic hybrid guidewire with a soft, shapeable tip. Product tables for this exact model also identify a 200 cm total length, 0.014 in proximal diameter, and 0.012 in distal diameter, supporting use in delicate neurovascular navigation where distal flexibility is important.
Engineered with hybrid nitinol-stainless steel technology, the Traxcess guidewire is intended to provide an exceptional balance of support with a soft tip, along with high-strength stainless steel proximal core performance and distal flexibility. Terumo Neuro materials also highlight durability, torque response, and the ability to reach challenging distal anatomies, making the wire suitable for demanding neurovascular access and catheter delivery workflows.
The Traxcess platform also incorporates hydrophilic coating technology and a docking wire concept intended to simplify catheter exchange and reduce the need for multiple wires during a procedure. This helps position the GW1420040 as a versatile neurovascular guidewire for clinicians seeking smooth tracking, atraumatic tip behavior, and dependable device support in endovascular cases.
