Evaluation of Contact Resistance Between Catheters and Guidewires in Pancreatobiliary Endoscopy: Influence of Material and Mechanical Properties
Catheter-guidewire contact resistance was significantly influenced by material, surface processing, and guidewire stiffness. HDPE catheters and PFA guidewires with moderate stiffness and friction-reducing surfaces may optimize performance. These findings offer useful insights for the selection of clinical devices and guidewire development.
