  • Segmented metallic guidewires
    Patent number: 10695540
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of segmented metallic guidewires that are suitable for MRI catheterization. Disclosed guidewires comprise a plurality of short conductive metallic segments that individually are short enough such that they do not resonate during MRI. The conductive segments are electrically insulated from each other and mechanically coupled together end-to-end via connectors, such as stiffness matched connectors, to provide a sufficiently long, strong, and flexible guidewire for catheterization that is non-resonant during MRI.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 19, 2015
    Date of Patent: June 30, 2020
    Assignee: The United States of America, as Represented by the Secretary, Department of Health and Human Services
