TL;DR: A catheter guide wire assembly for angioplasty is described in this paper, which consists of a combined core and safety wire extending longitudinally between its proximal and distal ends.
Abstract: A catheter guide wire assembly for use in angioplasty. The assembly has a combined core and safety wire extending longitudinally between its proximal and distal ends. A wound wire is positioned around the combined core and safety wire and follows the contour thereof. The combined core and safety wire has a relatively short and relatively flexible distal end portion with a first diameter, an elongated, relatively rigid proximal body portion having a diameter greater than the first diameter, and a tapered intermediate portion interconnecting the distal end portion and the proximal body portion. Ends of the wire and the combined core and safety wire are rigidly connected to each other. The guide wire assembly guides and supports a balloon catheter used to dilate a stenosis region of a blood vessel. Since the distal end has a reduced diameter, the distal end can be left within the stenosis region during the performance of a fluoroscopic process used to ascertain whether or not the stenosis region has been adequately enlarged by a dilatation procedure.

12 Jun 1987TL;DR: A catheter guidewire assembly having a moveable core wire and a safety wire is described in this paper, where the safety wire has the cross section of a segment of a circle, such that its curved surface conforms to the inside surface of the casing.

16 Jan 2007TL;DR: In this paper, a coupling wire guide is designed to be slidably coupled to a previously introduced wire guide, which includes a main body having a distal section, and a loop wire is connected to the safety wire at two axially spaced points.
Abstract: A coupling wire guide structured to be slidably coupled to a previously introduced wire guide. The coupling wire guide includes a main body having a distal section. The distal section includes an outer wire disposed over a safety wire. A loop wire is connected to the safety wire at two axially spaced points. At least a portion of the loop wire is positioned outside of the outer wire to define a loop area sized to receive the previously introduced wire guide.

TL;DR: A percutaneous nephroscope with a sleeve that keeps the puncturing channel open and a device for introducing a safety wire has a channel as an introducing device, in particular a thin guiding pipe which is advantageously fastened on the outside of the sleeve and permits introduction of the safety wire at any time during the operation process as discussed by the authors.
