MISSISSAUGA, ON, April 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Baylis Medical Technologies Inc. today announced U.S. FDA 510(k) clearance and commercial launch of the PowerWire^® 14 Radiofrequency (RF) Guidewire, designed to facilitate the crossing of completely occluded native or stented peripheral vessels 3mm in diameter or greater.

The PowerWire® 14 RF Guidewire is the first 0.014" RF-enabled crossing wire, offering physicians a smaller-profile option when navigating challenging occlusions. Building on the established PowerWire® Pro RF Guidewire platform, PowerWire® 14 RF Guidewire combines RF-assisted crossing capability with a 0.014" profile, providing an option for use in anatomies where precision and controlled advancement are critical.

PowerWire® 14 RF Guidewire is intended for use in both arterial and venous occlusions. Early physician use suggests potential advantages in high-pressure systems and complex anatomies where a smaller wire profile may offer greater physician comfort when using RF-assisted technology.

When the energized tip of the PowerWire® 14 RF Guidewire contacts metal, RF delivery automatically terminates, helping support controlled advancement during in-stent crossing. This design feature assists physicians in managing challenging in-stent occlusions.

Laura Conquergood, Chief Executive Officer of Baylis Medical Technologies, commented, "The launch of PowerWire® 14 RF Guidewire expands our RF puncture crossing portfolio with a 0.014" option, providing physicians with additional flexibility to select the wire profile that best aligns with vessel size, lesion characteristics, and procedural approach."
