Guide wire differences between Torque and no Torque
Traversing a tortuous vessel, whether for Interventional Cardiology or Interventional Neurology can require a guide wire that is an extended version of the Interventional Cardiologist or Neurologist own finger. To achieve this, torque technology, like ASAHIās own patented guide wires, is needed for accurate pushback and little to no whip. See a firsthand example of a guide wire with and without this torque ability.
Crossing the Y-Branch
A side branch occlusion? a tortuous vessel? Not a problem with the right ASAHI INTECC guide wire technology. See it for yourself!

PTCA Balloon Ryurei
Description
Confidence in your hands
Ryurei⢠has superior crossability1Ā thanks to the combination of low distal profiles and Terumo’s hydrophilic M coating. The short balloon bonding and reinforced shaft1Ā results in enhanced trackability1Ā while maintaining excellent pushability1.
These features can increase physician’s confidence in success even during complex procedures.
CharacteristicsExcellent Pusability
The combination of flexible distal part,Ā tapered core wire on the midshaft and the thick proximal hypotube, results in smooth and balanced transition across the entire catheter for high transmission force, resulting in excellent pushability
Superior Crossability2
Thanks to the combination of distalĀ low profiles and the Terumo hydrophilic M-Coat, Ryurei offers low friction in crossing tight lesions
Enhanced Trackability2
With an optimal tip design and improved balloon bonding, Ryurei provides enhanced trackability, even in tortuous anatomy and difficult to navigate vessels.

CLOSUREFAST
ClosureFastā¢Ā
procedureMinimally invasive thermal
treatment for vein disease
and varicose veins.
The ClosureFast procedure uses radiofrequency energy or heat to close the diseased vein, which redirects blood flow to healthyĀ veins, relieving symptoms.Before the procedure
You will have an ultrasound imaging exam of the leg beingĀ treated. This exam is important for assessing the diseasedĀ superficial vein and planning the procedure.
During the procedure
Your doctor will discuss the procedure with you. Here is a brief summary of what to expect:
- The ClosureFast procedure is performed on an outpatient basis. Your doctor will perform the ClosureFast procedure. Using anĀ ultrasound, your doctor will position a catheter in the diseased vein through a small opening in the skin.
- The small catheter delivers heat to the vein wall, causing it to shrink and seal the vein. Once the diseased vein is closed, blood will reroute itself to other healthy veins.
After the procedure
- You will be taken to the recovery area to rest.
- Following the procedure, your doctor will apply a simpleĀ bandage over the insertion site and will give you compressionĀ stockings to aid in the healing process. Your doctor may encourage you to walk and to refrain from extended standing and strenuous activities for a period of time. The average patient typically resumes normal activities within a few days.1,2
- Your doctor will recommend follow-up care as needed.
-
Benefits of the ClosureFast procedure
- Relief of symptoms after two days, with a noticeable improvement in one to two week
- Minimally invasive outpatient procedure
- Less pain and bruising than laser treatment
- Faster recovery than laser treatment
- Proven results with positive patient experience
Ā
- Rapid recovery ā on average, patients resume normal activities within a few days
- Lasting results ā the only radiofrequency energy procedure with published long-term clinical data demonstrating safety and efficacy, with a 91.9% closure rate at five years.4
Adverse events can include nerve injury, hematoma, phlebitis, thrombosis, and/or pulmonary embolism.

ClosureFast procedure FAQ
Is the ClosureFast procedure painful?
Most patients report feeling little, if any, pain during the ClosureFast procedure.3Ā Your doctor will give you a local or regionalĀ anesthetic to numb the treatment area.
When can I return to normal activity?
Patients treated with the ClosureFast procedure may resume normal activity more quickly than patients who undergo surgical veinĀ stripping or laser ablation. With the ClosureFast procedure, the average patient typically resumes normal activity within a few days.2Ā For a few weeks following the treatment, your vein specialist may recommend a regular walking regimen and suggest you refrainĀ from strenuous activities (heavy lifting, for example) or prolonged periods of standing.
When will my symptoms improve?
Most patients report relief of symptoms after two days, with a noticeable improvement in one to two weeks.
Is there any scarring, bruising, or swelling after the procedure?
Most patients report limited to no scarring, bruising, or swelling following the ClosureFast procedure.3
How is the ClosureFast procedure different from endovenous lasers?
Both Closure Fast and lasers use thermal technology to deliver heat into the diseased vein, but they each use a different method of delivery. Despite their similarity in using heat, a 2009 study showed that the ClosureFast procedure is associated with lower rates of pain, bruising, and complications and a faster improvement in patientsā quality of life when compared to 980 nm laser ablation.4
How is the Closure FastĀ procedure different from vein stripping?
During vein stripping, incisions are made in the groin and calf, and a tool is threaded through the diseased vein to pull the vein outĀ of the leg. With the ClosureFast procedure, only one small incision is made at the insertion site and the vein is then treated and leftĀ in place. ClosureFast is a minimally invasive approach that reduces the likelihood of pain and bruising, associated with vein strippingĀ surgery.1
Is the ClosureFast procedure covered by insurance?
Many patients have access to the ClosureFast procedure through their insurance coverage plan. Insurance companies detail access to the ClosureFast procedure and other radiofrequency ablation procedures in coverage policies for varicose veins or chronic venous insufficiency. As with all healthcare procedures, you may also have some cost associated with receiving treatment, such as a copay or coinsurance. Please reach out to your insurance company to discuss your specific plan coverage and potential costs prior to seeking treatment
