WIRE GUIDE AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME

摘要

A method for making a wire guide (62) is provided. The method comprises forming a distal end portion (26) of a proximal core wire (10). The distal end portion has a first variable diameter (32) less than a maximum diameter of the proximal core wire. The first variable diameter is configured to flare distally along at least a partial length of the distal end portion. A proximal end portion (28) of a distal core wire (12) is formed. A proximal end portion has a second variable diameter less than the maximum diameter of the distal core wire. The second variable diameter is configured to flare proximally along at least a partial length of the proximal end portion. The distal and proximal end portions are overmolded with polymeric material to form a joining member that couples the distal and proximal end portions together.
