Abstract

A guide wire for medical use is provided with a coil spring (20) mounted on a distal end side small diameter part (11) of a core wire (10) formed of austenitic stainless steel with a tensile strength of 2600 to 3000 MPa. The coil spring (20) has a tip end side small diameter part (21), a first taper part (22), a middle diameter part (23), a second taper part (24) and a back end side large diameter part (25). A closely coiled portion (201) is formed by the tip end side small diameter part (21), first taper part (22), middle diameter part (23) and second taper part (24), and a loosely coiled portion (202) is formed by the back end side large diameter part (25). The tip end portion of the tip end side small diameter part (21), the back end portion of the second taper part (24) and the back end portion of the back end side large diameter part (25) are affixed to the outer periphery of the distal end side small diameter part (11) of the core wire (10). This guide wire is capable of passing through even constricted areas, has high flexural rigidity, and also has exceptional push-in properties, torque conveyance properties and shape stability properties.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a medical guide wire in which a coil spring is attached to the outer periphery of a small-diameter portion on the distal end side of a core wire. Background technique [0002] A guide wire for guiding a medical device such as a catheter to a predetermined position in a body cavity such as a blood vessel requires flexibility at a distal end. [0003] Thus, there is known a guide wire in which the outer diameter of the distal end of the core wire is smaller than the outer diameter of the proximal end, and the outer diameter of the distal end of the core wire (the small-diameter portion on the distal end side) is A coil spring is attached to improve the flexibility of the distal end (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). [0004] In order to attach the coil spring to the outer periphery of the small-diameter portion on the distal end side of the core wire, usually, the front end and the rear end of the coil spring are...
