• Applying ASAHI INTECC’s unique wire forming technology, we
developed drawing technology and torque technology :
• Multi wire coil
• Enhances torque force, torque response, durability and
flexibility
ACT ONE:
ASAHI brand multi wire coil provides torque force,
torque response, durability and flexibility.
ACT ONE
While keeping torque response and
force, the guide wire still maintains
softness due to the addition of ACT
ONE.
New technology that overcomes the trade-off :
ACT ONE
The above data was obtained by company standardized test, which may differ from industry standardized tests.
The above data does not prove that all devices have exactly the same performance with the samples used for these tests.

✔ Wires have the same OD, but the twist wire is more flexible
✔ Twist wire offers better tensile strength

CTO body×Tip end design
Although these two have the same tip load, they show different movement when
trying to change routes within the CTO body. It was easy to re-direct GN3 as the
sharp micro cone tip caught easily on the space wall, then changed direction
using deflection created by the wire .

It is more difficult for flexible wires to penetrate the CTO entry when there is a bigger
open space. Push force could not be transmitted to the tip due to loss of force because
the tip was bent severely.

It is obvious that the push force of Gaia Second from the tip to the bifurcation entry was
insufficient to penetrate and the tip easily got prolapsed even after it hooked at entry site.
The other two guidewires were able to hook at the entry to make penetration.

Without coating vs. coating XT-A
Abrupt and smooth entry (ETOSS 8000)
Lubricity × CTO entry
XT-A without coating XT-A
In the case with abrupt and smooth lesion entry, XT-A, after wiping off the coating, could
penetrate the lesion as the tip caught at the entry like a hook. However, it failed to go
further due to heavy resistance because of the uncoated tip within the lesion. On the
other hand, for conventional XT-A, it slipped and was not able to penetrate the lesion.
Abrupt and smooth Abrupt and rough
XT-A: Abrupt and smooth / rough entry
(ETOSS 8000)
Lubricity × CTO entry
In the case with abrupt and smooth entry, the tip of XT-A slipped and could not go into
the lesion. But with the abrupt and rough entry, XT-A could penetrate the lesion by
focusing the force onto a dimple even though the tip was slippery.
Coating vs without coating Gaia Next 2

Lubricity × CTO body

Gaia Next 2 without coating
When lubricity was lost in the CTO body, the longer the wire’s distance inside the body,
the more difficult it was to advance due to increased sliding resistance.
