  • Method and System for Coupling an Extension Wire to a Guidewire
    Publication number: 20110071435
    Abstract: A method and a system using a helicoidal structure wound out of a plurality of metallic wires into a universal connector for reversibly coupling a distal end portion of an extension wire to a proximal end portion of a guide wire. The universal connector is configured for receiving the proximal end portion of the guide wire into the connector lumen and is made as a single-piece unit built to sustain increased separation forces tending to disconnect the extension wire from the guide wire. The universal connector accommodates coupling to different configurations of commercially available guide wire proximal terminations.
