Abstract

Disclosed is a medical guide wire having a center portion and a floppy, or flexible and relatively soft, tail attached to each end of the center portion. Each floppy tail can be of any configuration, length or diameter. Also disclosed are optionally-enhanced medical guide wires and medical guide wires with a smooth outer surface. The optionally-enhanced medical guide wires preferably glow under ultraviolet light but can be optically enhanced in any manner that makes them highly visible during medical procedures. The smooth outer surface on a medical guide wire reduces friction and can be moved more easily through the vascular system, and are easier to clean that wires with a matte finish.
