Boston Sci launches new PCI guidewire

Boston Scientific has launched the Kinetix Guidewire, an interventional device that is used during PCI, which is equipped with a micro-cut nitinol sleeve.

According to the Natick, Mass.-based company, the device design improves torque during the deliverance of drug-eluting stents or other interventional devices in patients. Kinetix will be available in full next quarter, but a phased launch of the device will begin immediately.
