Abstract:
1. A coupling wire guide for intracorporeal procedures, the coupling wire guide comprising: a main body having a distal end; a tip portion connected to the distal end of the main body, the tip portion defining an axial passageway having a distal opening and a proximal opening, the axial passageway sized to receive a second wire guide therein; and a linking member non-rotatably connected to the distal end of the main body, the tip portion constructed of a plastic material and formed over the linking member, the linking member including a coil attached to the distal end of the main body, wherein the coil increases in pitch to define a space between adjacent loops of the coil, the space sized and positioned to correspond to the proximal opening of the axial passageway, and wherein the coil decreases in pitch at a location distally beyond the proximal opening.
