NewsJune 26, 2008 MediGuide and Asahi Intecc team on surgical guide wire Asahi Intecc of Japan and Israel's MediGuide have signed a collaboration agreement for development and marketing of an innovative guide wire (G-Wire) for surgical procedures. The guide wire uses an integrated, sub-millimeter magnetic tracking sensor, and is intended for the interventional cardiology market. G-Wire will enable physicians to visually track the actual orientation, as well as the 3D spatial tip position of the wire, while manipulating it in real time. In addition, it will enable marking and 3D visualization capabilities also offered by the MediGuide technology. This new functionality is expected to be extremely useful during procedures such as chronic total occlusion (CTO) as well as other complex operations which require accurate wire manipulation in the field of interventional cardiology.
