CONNECTOR AND GUIDEWIRE CONNECTABLE THERETO

摘要

Connector and guidewires connectable thereto are disclosed which enable for the connection of guidewires requiring electrical connection to an external source. These guidewires may be used for MRI imaging and the external source could be an MRI scanner. An embodiment of a guidewire is provided with enables for easier connection through improved dimensions and mechanical strength at the proximal end. An embodiment of a connector is provided which can attach to any guidewire or coaxial cable. These connectors provide for desirable mechanical and electrical properties while still enabling catheters and other tolls to be used in conjunction with guidewires and other cables.
