Word help: ACS high-torque floppy 2 guidewire

[Guest guest]

HI, I'm doing a carotid and cerebral angiogram with stent placement. The

doc says:

An ACS high-torque floppy 2 guidewire was then used to traverse the

stenotic segment of the right internal carotid artery with the tip of the

wire placed at the level of the skull base.

Is it floppy 2 or floppy two? I can't document this either way!

TIA!!!
