#Classification of Guidewires
( very important Topic)
..........................
Guidewires have different properties ,it is classified on different parameters but most practical classification is ""Based on Lesion -Type Classification. @PCRonline @TCTMD @mmamas1973 @Hragy
A.Based on Tip -Flexibility ( Tip -Load )
#Tip Load..Amount of force ( in grams) needed to buckle distal 1cm of Tip

Antegrade approach for CTO from cap penetration to completion
It consists of advancing various guidewires in antegrade direction to cross CTO while remaining within true lumen of vessel (True to True ) @mmamas1973 @mirvatalasnag @Hragy @PCRonline
For proximal cap penetration, tapered polymer GW with low-penetration power soft-tip (Fielder family guidewires; Ashai Intecc), allowing advancement along visible or invisible microchannels, are the first choice

~If the operator encounters difficulties in crossing the lesion, they can switch to GW with greater penetration force. When proximal cap is blunt, GW with intermediate penetration force (Gaia 2nd–3rd [Ashai Intecc] or Pilot 200 [Abbott Vascular]) are used.
