The difference is that the thicknesses on the outside of the direction are set to be staggered.
- the same types of parts as those in the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and duplicated description will be omitted.
- the widths of the segments 21 of the identification pattern 20D are made the same, and the thicknesses of the adjacent segments 21 are staggered to form regular irregularities. ing.
- FIG. 5 schematically shows a part of the guide wire 10D provided with the identification pattern 20D, and the step between the segments 21 is also exaggerated and greatly expressed as compared with the ratio based on the actual size of the actual product. ing.
- the segments 21 that are alternately arranged include thick and large-diameter segments 21g to 21j that are arranged alternately, and thin and small-diameter segments 21k and 21l. Since each of these segments 21g to 21l is also provided independently of each other, it is possible to arbitrarily change the thickness of each segment and freely set the unevenness.
- one segment 21 may be provided so as to have two levels of thickness.
- the color of each segment 21 can be freely set, for example, two colors arranged in the same color can be arranged alternately, or two colors can be arranged alternately one by one.
- the outer peripheral surface of the core material 11 is divided into two in the circumferential direction, one half peripheral surface on one side (upper half in FIG. 5) and the other on the other side. Two regions divided into the other half peripheral surface (lower half in FIG. 5) extend in the major axis direction of the core material 11, respectively.
- FIG. 6 shows a sixth embodiment of the present invention.
- the guide wire 10E according to the sixth embodiment is basically configured in the same manner as in the fifth embodiment, but is made of a transparent material at a position including at least the identification pattern 20D on the outer peripheral surface of the core material 11. The difference is that the covering portion 30 having a smooth surface is provided.
- the same types of parts as those in the fifth embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and duplicated description will be omitted.
- the coating portion 30 is a coating formed of, for example, a fluororesin (polytetrafluoroethylene) or a low-friction, transparent resin such as polyethylene or polypropylene. As shown in FIG. 6, the covering portion 30 may be covered for each identification pattern 20D, but may be covered so as to be continuous over the entire length of the guide wire 10E. Further, it is conceivable to cover each segment 21 in the identification pattern 20D. Note that FIG. 6 schematically shows a part of the guide wire 10E.
- the covering portion 30 finishes the outer surface with a smooth surface, thereby causing the step. It is possible to eliminate the inconvenience. Further, since the covering portion 30 is made of a transparent material, the identification pattern 20 can be visually recognized as it is, and the visibility of the design such as the pattern by each segment 21 is not impaired.
- the covering portion 30 by providing the covering portion 30, the frictional resistance at the time of inserting the guide wire 10 can be reduced regardless of the presence or absence of a step between the segments 21. Further, the covering portion 30 makes it possible to protect the identification pattern 20D and prevent damage to the segment 21.
- FIG. 7 shows a seventh embodiment of the present invention.
- the guide wire 10F according to the seventh embodiment is basically configured in the same manner as the first embodiment, except that the base end portion 10b is omitted.
- the same types of parts as those in the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and duplicated description will be omitted.
- proximal end portion 10b proximal to the guide wire 10 does not necessarily have to be configured in the same manner as the tip end portion 10a, and special configurations such as the radiation opaque portion 12 and the identification pattern 20 may be omitted. .. This also applies to other embodiments.
- the specific configuration is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and the present invention may be changed or added without departing from the gist of the present invention.
- the specific length and diameter of the guide wire 10 and the shapes at both ends are not limited to those shown in the figure.
- the guide wire 10 is not necessarily limited to use in a medical procedure using an endoscope.
- identification patterns 20, 20A, and 20B having the same pattern are provided on the tip portion 10a and the base end portion 10b of the guide wires 10, 10A, and 10B, respectively.
- the identification patterns 20 having different patterns may be provided.
- the segment 21 is made different for each region where the outer peripheral surface of the core material 11 extends in the longitudinal direction divided in the circumferential direction, but the segment 21 extends over the circumferential direction of the outer peripheral surface. They may be formed to be the same. In this case, each segment 21 is formed in an annular shape over the entire circumference of the core member 11 around the axis.
- the guide wire according to the present invention can be applied to a guide wire used for various medical procedures.
