English term or phrase: guide wire
The balloon catheter is a Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) Rapid Exchange System. The balloon at the distal end of the catheter can be inflated to a defined diameter at a specific pressure (see labelling). The proximal end of the catheter has a female luer for attachment to an inflation device. The catheter provides a lumen which enables the use of a guide wire to position the catheter.

Portuguese translation:fio "condutor"
Explanation:
Vanessa, não tenho a certeza se se dirá assim em português. Tenho reservas quanto ao "condutor" porque parece mais electricidade e este termo tem a ver com medicina. Vi no dic. inglês-francês e só encontrei as palavras isoladas. No entanto, encontrei algumas imagens na net e talvez te possam ajudar. Vê estes sites. Good Luck!
