Abstract:
1. A guide wire holder for accommodating a medical guide wire and holding the guide wire in place, the guide wire holder being adapted to be affixed to a medical device, the guide wire holder comprising: an affixation part configured to allow passage of the guide wire therethrough; a guide wire carrier connected with the affixation part and projecting away from the affixation part, said carrier having a guide wire accommodation device comprising: wherein the first guide wire deflection element is formed by a deflection bracket or retainer that extends upward from an initial region of the guide wire carrier and is open on one side, wherein the guide wire carrier contains two carrier arms connected with one another by the second guide wire deflection element, wherein the second guide wire deflection element is formed by a guide wire contact surface on a top of the guide wire carrier between the two carrier arms of the guide wire carrier, said guide wire contact surface forming a guide track for the guide wire and said guide wire contact surface being configured for exerting a friction resistance on the guide wire, wherein the two carrier arms each have an offset part located on an end of the carrier arms that lies furthest from the affixation part, wherein a space between the offset parts of the carrier arms is open, and wherein the offset part of each carrier arm is configured so that the guide wire can be laid around one of the offset parts to deflect the guide wire at an angle of about 90 degrees out of the guide track and away from the guide wire holder.
