<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a medical guidewire which has reduced resistance with a curved guiding catheter, and has improved durability that can keep the resistance reduced for a long time. <P>SOLUTION: A core shaft 3 of the medical guidewire 1 has a second cylindrical part 11, with a smaller diameter than that of a coiled body 5, on a proximal end side of the coiled body 5. The second cylindrical part is coated with a hydrophilic material 7. Also, the hydrophilic material 7 coated on the second cylindrical part 11 has a larger thickness than a hydrophilic material 7 coated on the coiled body 5. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
