Abstract

The guidewire comprises: a tip section including a core wire including a first tapered portion, a reduced-in-diameter portion, a second tapered portion and a rod end portion, two or more highly radiopaque annular marker bands being received on the core wire between the first tapered portion and the rod end portion and precisely spaced apart on the core wire by one or more plastic tubing segments, and an outer sleeve covering said marker bands and tubing segments.
