  • Method of making a coated wire guide
    Patent number: 9364589
    Abstract: In a method for making a wire guide, a fluoropolymer coating is removed from a distal section of an FP coated core wire to expose a metallic portion. A polymer coating is applied to a proximal section of the FP coated core wire such that the polymer coating overlays at least a portion of the FP coating, and to the distal section of the FP coated core wire including the exposed metal portion. The polymer coating is removed from the FP coating to form the wire guide having a proximal portion with the FP coating and a distal portion with the polymer coating. A hydrophilic coating may be applied to the distal portion over the polymer coating.
    Type: Grant

  • COATED WIRE GUIDE AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME
    Publication number: 20100234816
    Abstract: In at least one embodiment, a method for making a wire guide is provided. The method comprises applying a polymer coating to a proximal section of a FP coated core wire having a FP coating disposed thereon such that the polymer coating overlays at least a portion of the FP coating. The polymer coating is applied to a distal section of the FP coated core wire having an exposed metal portion such that the polymer coating overlays at least a portion of the exposed metal portion. The polymer coating is removed from the proximal portion of the FP coated core wire to form the wire guide having a proximal portion with the FP coating and a distal portion with the polymer coating.
