20140358169 | MEDICAL GUIDE WIRE - An outer coil and an inner coil are joined in parallel with a distal end portion of a core of a guide wire. A winding direction of a strand of the outer coil is the same as that of a strand of the inner coil. Diameters of the outer and inner coils increase or decrease when rotation of the core is transmitted and thereby rotation transmission capability is improved. An outer space wound portion and an inner space wound portion are formed in corresponding positions in the outer coil and the inner coil, respectively, in a core direction. Even if the guide wire has a double-coil structure, the outer and inner space wound portions improve flexibility of the guide wire. A coil pitch of the outer space wound portion differs from a coil pitch of the inner space wound portion. Thereby, engagement of the strands is prevented. | 12-04-2014 |
20100057053 | Medical Guide Wire - A medical guide wire includes a flexible long core. A core elongated component is disposed to extend forwards from the core, and has a tapered shape. A helical coil is disposed about the core elongated component, secured by attachment of a coil distal end and a coil proximal end to the core elongated component. The helical coil includes an equiradial coil portion having the coil proximal end, disposed at a portion of the core elongated component on a side of the core. A diameter decreasing coil portion has the coil distal end, extends forwards from the equiradial coil portion, has a decreasing diameter, and has a length 25 mm or more.
