Key Takeaways1
- 54. 54 Advancing the Turnpike & Turnpike LP Catheters from 6 - 2mm distance from the Guidewire tip dramatically increases the ETL of the guidewire The effect of interaction decreases with softer microcatheters The interaction and absolute increase in tipload is the highest with high tipload wires Key Takeaways Thank you

Editor's Notes
- #20: Tip loads can vary over the many offerings of wires. This is a small sample of some of the highest used specialty wires. Based on characteristics and tip loads, they can be generally categorized into three separate buckets: Low weight Medium weight Penetration These all have certain characteristics that lend them to disease states depending on what we’ve already gone over. This ranges from loose tissue tracking, knuckling, cap penetration, or intraluminal crossing/directional.
