[0040] As shown in Figure 1 A micro guide wire shown in Fig. 8 comprises a core wire 100, a twist control wire 200 and a sheath wire 300. The core wire 100 comprises a proximal end core wire 110 and a distal end core wire 120 which are axially connected, and the radial dimension of the proximal end core wire 110 is greater than or equal to that of the distal end core wire 120. The distal end core wire 120 comprises a flat wire, and the distal end core wire 120 is formed by spirally winding the flat wire along the axial direction of the core wire 100. The twist control wire 200 is spirally wound on the outer periphery of the distal end core wire 120 along the axial direction of the distal end core wire 120, and the twist control wire 200 is fixedly connected with the distal end core wire 120. The spiral direction of the twist control wire 200 is opposite to that of the distal end core wire 120. The sheath wire 300 is fixedly sleeved on the outer periphery of the twist control wire 200, and the distal end core wire 120, the twist control wire 200 and the sheath wire 300 are coaxially welded.

[0041] Specifically, the material of the core wire 100 is SUS304V stainless steel, or the material of the core wire 100 is a winding composite of SUS304V stainless steel and nickel-titanium alloy. The length of the distal core wire 120 is 15mm-50mm, and the pitch of the distal core wire 120 is 0.02mm-2mm; the thickness of the flat wire ranges from 0.02mm to 0.06mm. The material of the twist control winding 200 is 304V stainless steel or platinum-nickel alloy or platinum-rhodium alloy; the wire diameter of the twist control winding 200 is 0.02mm-0.06mm, and the pitch of the twist control winding 200 is 0.02mm-0.1mm. The material of the sheath winding 300 is platinum-nickel alloy or platinum-rhodium alloy, or the material of the sheath winding 300 is a winding composite of platinum-nickel alloy and stainless steel, or the material of the sheath winding 300 is a winding composite of platinum-rhodium alloy and stainless steel; the length of the sheath winding 300 is 20mm-600mm, the wire diameter of the sheath winding 300 is 0.02mm-0.06mm, and the pitch of the sheath winding 300 is 0.02mm-0.1mm.

[0042] The micro guide wire for interventional blood vessels has an outer diameter of the distal core wire 120 that is smaller than or equal to the outer diameter of the proximal core wire 110, so that the distal core wire 120 has relatively good flexibility, and the twist control winding 200 is spirally wound around the outer periphery of the distal core wire 120, which can improve the support force of the distal core wire 120 to a certain extent. The distal core wire 120 is spirally wound by the flat wire along the axial direction of the core wire 100, the twist control winding 200 is spirally wound around the outer periphery of the distal core wire 120, and the sheath winding 300 is fixedly sleeved outside the twist control winding 200. When the micro guide wire is bent, the distal core wire 120 and the twist control winding 200 can be bent and deformed in the radial direction as a whole, and the sheath winding 300 can also be bent, thereby improving the flexibility of the micro guide wire. Finally, the head end of the micro guide wire is neither too soft nor too hard, and the micro guide wire can smoothly reach the treatment site even in the case of intracranial blood vessel bending. Moreover, the strength of the sheath winding 300 is usually greater than the strength of the proximal core wire 110 and the twist control winding 200 as a whole, so that the sheath winding 300 is more likely to maintain a curved state relative to the micro guide wire as a whole during the delivery of the micro guide wire in the human brain blood vessels. Therefore, the sheath winding 300 can assist the distal end of the micro guide wire to maintain a spiral curved state and prevent the micro guide wire from having problems such as a sharp end tilting outward.

[0043] In the present embodiment, the spiral direction of the twist control winding 200 is opposite to the spiral direction of the distal core wire 120, and the spiral direction of the sheath winding 300 is opposite to the spiral direction of the twist control winding 200. In this way, the micro guide wire will not be disassembled when subjected to a torsional force during use, and the micro guide wire has excellent twist control performance.

[0044] In the embodiment, the direction perpendicular to the helical surface of the distal core wire 120 is the thickness direction of the flat wire, and the flat wire is an equal-thickness flat wire with the same thickness. In alternative embodiments, in the axial direction from the distal end of the distal core wire 120 to the proximal end, the flat wire is a non-equal-thickness flat wire with a thickness gradually changing between 0.02 mm and 0.06 mm. The structure of the flat wire with a gradually changing thickness can further improve the flexibility of the distal core wire 120 formed by the helix of the flat wire.

[0045] In the embodiment, the proximal core wire 110 includes a variable-diameter core wire segment 111 and a push rod 112. The distal end of the variable-diameter core wire segment 111 is connected to the distal core wire 120, and the proximal end of the variable-diameter core wire segment 111 is connected to the push rod 112. The radial dimension of the variable-diameter core wire segment 111 is greater than or equal to the radial dimension of the distal core wire 120. The variable-diameter core wire segment 111 includes one or more variable-diameter segments 111a with a gradually changing diameter and one or more constant-diameter segments 111b with a constant diameter. In the axial direction from the distal end of the variable-diameter core wire segment 111 to the proximal end, the diameter of the variable-diameter segments 111a gradually increases. The structure of the variable-diameter core wire segment 111 of the proximal core wire 110 with multiple variable-diameter segments 111a and constant-diameter segments 111b enables the micro guide wire to have excellent flexibility and support.

[0046] In the embodiment, the outer diameter of the push rod 112 is 0.25 mm to 0.60 mm. The surface of the push rod 112 is provided with a hydrophobic polytetrafluoroethylene coating. The push rod 112 with the polytetrafluoroethylene coating has the smallest friction coefficient when cooperating with the instrument, so that the micro guide wire has excellent pushability. The portions of the micro guide wire without the polytetrafluoroethylene coating are coated with a hydrophilic coating, which enables the micro guide wire to have excellent lubricity.

[0047] In summary, the micro guide wire provided by the utility model has good flexibility, pushability, twist control, lubricity, and support. The micro guide wire can smoothly pass through various winding blood vessels, reduce the operation difficulty of the micro guide wire intervention surgery, and improve the recanalization efficiency of the surgery.

[0048] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for clear illustration, and are not intended to limit the embodiments. Based on the above description, those skilled in the art can make other different forms of changes or modifications. Here, it is not necessary or possible to exhaust all the embodiments. The obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of the utility model.
