Aristotle® Colossus
Guidewire
Precision and power are combined in our innovative macrowire designed to get you farther, more efficiently. The first and only 0.035-inch neurovascular-indicated guidewire with FDA clearance, Aristotle® Colossus gives the support needed to travel farther into the anatomy while maintaining the tip softness required for safety.

The dynamic duo
The Aristotle® Colossus is designed to lay the foundation for optimal trackability when paired with 0.038-inch catheters or larger, and it includes the implementation of a coating targeted toward optimal lubricity.
A gentle giant
The largest guidewire yet was developed to go deeper with the support and control you need. With a bigger wire, more area is available for force to be distributed around the diameter of the wire. This can result in a better interaction with the anatomy than that of smaller guidewires, while still providing the control needed for distal navigation.
A wire like no other
Breakthrough technology provides softness and flexibility for optimal tip response, which can help select vessels and navigate vasculature more easily.
Product specifications
Proprietary design enables thousands of transition zones to address complex anatomy and enhance performance.

The Aristotle® Colossus Guidewire is intended for general vascular use within the neuro and peripheral vasculatures to introduce and position catheters and other interventional devices. The guidewire is not intended for use in the coronary vasculature.
None known.
- The Aristotle® Colossus Guidewire should be manipulated under fluoroscopy. Do not attempt to move the guidewire without observing the resulting tip response. Advance and withdraw the guidewire slowly and carefully. Never advance or withdraw the guidewire against resistance that is felt or observed under fluoroscopy until the cause of the resistance is determined. Movement of the guidewire against resistance may result in damage to the guidewire or injury to the patient.
- Confirm the compatibility of the guidewire and other devices being used in the procedure.
- Do not use this device with catheters below an ID of 0.038-inch (0.97 mm), as damage to guidewire hydrophilic coating may occur.
