<p>The invention comprises a proximal end fitting (13) for use within a guidewire assembly wherein the proximal end fitting comprises an elongated radially compressible tube. When in use, the tube is compressed against the O-ring seal (38) in the fitting (13) to better facilitate the seal between the O-ring (38) and the guidewire (11) and thereby better control blood reflux.</p> |
