Abstract: A guide wire holder for receiving and holding an inherently elastic medical guide wire and for attaching same to a medical device, such as an endoscope, has an attachment part through which the guide wire can he guided and a guide wire support which is connected to the attachment part projects from same, and allows the guide wire to be held by a guide wire receiving device. The guide wire receiving device contains a first guide wire deflecting element in the form of a deflecting and clamping bracket which is open on one side, the guide wire deflecting element guiding the guide wire away from the attachment part and clamping the guide wire, arid the guide wire receiving device contains two additional guide wire deflecting elements. The deflecting and clamping bracket has two bracket parts which project from the guide wire support and between which a slot is provided.

Abstract: A guide wire holder for receiving and securing a medical guide wire and for mounting on a medical appliance has a mounting part through which the guide wire can be guided, and a guide wire support which is connected to and protrudes from the mounting part and allows the guide wire to be secured by a guide wire receiver. The guide wire receiver contains a guide wire deflector that tensions and deflects the guide wire in a direction leading away from its direction of passage through the mounting part. The guide wire receiver is followed by an additional guide wire deflector that is formed with a guide wire contact surface, on which the guide wire can be guided along a guide track, so that a frictional resistance can be exerted relative to the guide wire guided over the top of the guide wire support.

Abstract: In a guide wire holder (1) for receiving and securing a medical guide wire (4) and for mounting on a medical appliance, in particular on an endoscope, with a mounting part (2) through which the guide wire (4) can be guided, and with a guide wire support (3) which is connected to and protrudes from the mounting part (2) and allows the guide wire (4) to be secured by means of a guide wire receiver, which contains a guide wire deflector (6) that tensions the guide wire (4) and deflects it, at a distance from the mounting part (2), in a direction leading away from its direction of passage through the mounting part (2) and which is followed, at a further distance from the mounting part (2), by an additional guide wire deflector (9), the additional guide wire deflector (9) is formed, at or near the top of the guide wire support (3), with a guide wire contact surface, on which the guide wire (4) can be guided along a guide track, by means of which, in the area of the guide wire contact surface, a frictional resistan
