Definitions
- the present invention relates to a medical guide wire in which a coil spring is attached to the outer periphery of a small diameter portion on the distal end side of a core wire.
- a guide wire for guiding a medical device such as a catheter to a predetermined position in a body cavity such as a blood vessel is required to have flexibility at the distal end.
- the outer diameter of the distal end portion of the core wire is made smaller than the outer diameter of the proximal end portion, and a coil spring is attached to the outer periphery of the distal end portion (distal end side small diameter portion) of the core wire.
- a guide wire intended to improve the flexibility of the distal end is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
- each of the front end portion and the rear end portion of the coil spring is usually fixed to the core wire with solder.
- the 0.010 inch guide wire can greatly contribute to miniaturization of medical devices such as catheters. Further, according to this guide wire, for example, the operability when accessing the microchannel in a CTO (chronic total occlusion) lesion is also good to some extent.
- CTO chronic total occlusion
- a thin guide wire has low bending rigidity (kink resistance) and inferior pushability (pushability).
- the present inventor is a guide wire in which a coil spring is mounted on the outer periphery of the small diameter portion of the distal end side of the core wire, and the coil outer diameter on the tip side of the coil spring is 0.010 inch. Therefore, a guide wire in which the outer diameter of the coil on the rear end side of the coil spring and the outer diameter of the proximal end of the core wire are both 0.014 inches has been developed and proposed (see Patent Document 2). .
- JP 2003-299739 A Japanese Patent No. 4354525
- Some microchannels in CTO lesions have a pore size smaller than 0.010 inches, and a further reduction in the diameter of the guide wire (coil outer diameter of the coil spring) is required in order to pass through such a microchannel. It becomes.
- the coil outer diameter of the coil spring that constitutes the guide wire is different between the front end side and the rear end side, stress is concentrated on the part where the coil diameter changes when the constricted part such as a microchannel is inserted. Then, there is a problem that it becomes easy to kink in that portion. Further, a guide wire having a coil spring whose coil outer diameter largely changes does not have a good pushability.
- the guide wire is required to have a good torque transmission property (the rotational torque on the proximal end side is well transmitted to the distal end side). If the torque transmission is not sufficient, it is difficult to advance to the target blood vessel by selecting the blood vessel branch, and the insertion workability is impaired.
- a guide wire having a small diameter or a guide wire having a coil spring whose coil outer diameter largely changes tends to be inferior in torque transmission.
- the guide wire is required to be less likely to cause permanent deformation (shape retention) even when bent through a tortuous blood vessel. If permanent deformation occurs during the procedure, subsequent operations in the blood vessel may be difficult, such as undulation due to rotation by hand operation.
- the present invention has been made based on the above situation.
- the first object of the present invention is that it can be inserted into a narrowed portion having a small hole diameter that could not be inserted with a conventional guide wire, has high bending rigidity (kink resistance), and excellent pushability. It is to provide a medical guide wire.

- a 150 gf tensile load is applied for 10 seconds with the small diameter portion of the core wire to which the coil spring is fixed wound once along the outer periphery of a rod having a diameter of 3 mm, the tip portion of the core wire is wound.
- the warping angle is less than 25 °.
- the proximal end side large-diameter portion made of austenitic stainless steel having a tensile strength of 2600 to 3000 MPa and having an outer diameter of 0.012 inches or more;
- a core wire having a distal end small diameter portion having a smaller outer diameter than the end large diameter portion;
- a coil spring comprising a coarsely wound portion having a coil pitch exceeding 2.0 times the coil wire diameter;
- the coil spring is A tip-side small diameter portion having a coil outer diameter of 0.008 inches or less;
- a medium diameter portion having a coil outer diameter larger than the coil outer diameter of the tip side small diameter portion;
- a rear-end large-diameter portion having a coil outer diameter that is 0.012 inches or more and larger than the coil outer diameter of the medium-dia
- the coil spring constituting the medical guide wire has a distal end side small diameter portion having a coil outer diameter of 0.008 inches or less, and thus cannot be inserted through a conventional guide wire. It can be inserted into a stenotic region having a small pore diameter, and a narrow region (for example, a microchannel having a pore diameter of 250 ⁇ m or less in a CTO lesion) that cannot be performed using a conventional guide wire can be treated.
- this coil spring has a rear end side large diameter portion with a coil outer diameter of 0.012 inches or more, and the tip end small diameter portion, the medium diameter portion, the rear end side large diameter portion, and the coil outer diameter in stages. Since it has changed, the guide wire provided with this coil spring has high bending rigidity and excellent pushability.
- the distal end portion of the distal end side small diameter portion, the rear end portion of the second taper portion, and the rear end portion of the rear end side large diameter portion are fixed to the outer periphery of the distal end side small diameter portion of the core wire by solder.
- the coil spring can be securely fixed to the distal end side small diameter portion of the core wire, and the distal end side small diameter portion (excluding the distal end portion), the first tapered portion, the intermediate diameter portion, and the second tapered portion. Since the portions (excluding the rear end portion) are not fixed to the outer periphery of the small-diameter portion on the distal end side of the core wire by solder, it is possible to sufficiently ensure flexibility in the closely wound portion that is the tip region of the coil spring. In addition, it is possible to perform shaping in the region.

- the “tip rigid portion” means a tip portion of a coil spring (guide wire) that can no longer be bent freely due to solder penetrating the inside of the coil. When the tip is formed by solder, The tip is also part of the tip rigid portion. Further, the “length of the tip rigid portion” refers to the length of the guide wire in the axial direction from the tip of the guide wire to the rear end of the solder that has penetrated into the coil.
- the length of the tip rigid part is as short as 0.1 to 0.5 mm (solder Despite being narrow), the strength of the coil spring to the core wire can be sufficiently high (higher than the breaking strength of the small diameter portion at the distal end of the core wire) and inserted into the coil spring. Even if a tensile force is applied to the core wire in a state of being, the core wire is not pulled out. Since the tip rigid portion is as short as 0.1 to 0.5 mm, the shaping length (tip bending length) can be shortened (less than 0.7 mm). The frictional resistance can be sufficiently reduced during the operation.
- the gold-containing solder penetrates into the coil within a range corresponding to 1 to 4 pitches from the tip at the small diameter portion on the tip side of the coil spring.
- the penetration into the coil within a range corresponding to 3 pitches from the tip means that the rear end of the solder that has penetrated into the coil contacts the third coil from the tip, and the fourth winding The case where the coil is not in contact with the coil.

- Minimum shaping length and adherence of guide wire The minimum shaping length (minimum bendable length) was measured for each of the guidewires obtained in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1. The measurement of the minimum shaping length was performed for the inner length (L 51 ) and the outer length (L 52 ) as shown in FIG. Further, a tensile force was applied between the coil spring and the core wire, and the fractured portion was observed to evaluate the fixing property. The evaluation criteria were “ ⁇ ” when the distal end side small diameter portion of the core wire was broken, and “X” when peeling occurred between the coil spring or the distal end side small diameter portion and the solder. If there is even one “x”, it cannot be made into a product. The results are also shown in Table 1 below.
