1. A medical guide wire comprising:
a core having a large diameter on a proximal side and being tapered in diameter on a distal side toward a core distal end tip, wherein a core distal end portion spans from a point where the core begins to taper from the large diameter on the proximal side to the core distal end tip; an inner coil formed by helically winding at least one strand, a coil distal end of the inner coil being joined to the core distal end tip on an outer periphery of the core distal end portion of the core, a coil proximal end of the inner coil being joined to the core in the core distal end portion; an outer coil formed by helically winding at least one strand and located outside of the inner coil, the outer coil being longer than the inner coil in a direction of the core, a coil distal end of the outer coil being joined to the core distal end tip and a coil proximal end of the outer coil being joined to the core in the core distal end portion; an inner spaced coil winding portion provided on a distal side of the inner coil, a coil pitch of the inner spaced coil winding portion including a first space between adjacent helical windings of the inner coil; an outer spaced coil winding portion provided in the outer coil located outside of the inner spaced coil winding portion, a coil pitch of the outer spaced coil winding portion including a second space between adjacent helical windings of the outer coil, said second space differing from the first space of the coil pitch of the inner spaced coil winding portion; wherein the inner coil has a large constant diameter portion, a tapered middle portion, and a small constant diameter portion from the proximal side to the distal side and the outer coil has a large constant diameter portion, a tapered middle portion, and a small constant diameter portion from the proximal side to the distal side; the inner and outer spaced coil winding portions are provided in coil distal end portions of the small constant diameter portions, respectively of the inner and outer coils; and an outer diameter ratio (Di2/Di1) of the inner coil is greater than or equal to 1.15 and less than or equal to 2.80 and an outer diameter ratio (Do2/Do1) of the outer coil is greater than or equal to 1.10 and less than or equal to 1.80 and the outer diameter ratio (Di2/Di1) of the inner coil is greater than the outer diameter ratio (Do2/Do1) of the outer coil {(Di2/Di 1)>(Do2/Do1)} where Di1 denotes an outer diameter of the small constant diameter portion of the inner coil, Di2 denotes an outer diameter of the large constant diameter portion of the inner coil, Do1 denotes an outer diameter of the small constant diameter portion of the outer coil, and Do2 denotes an outer diameter of the large constant diameter portion of the outer coil. |
