図1、図2および図3は、本実施形態におけるガイドワイヤ100の構成を概略的に示す説明図である。図1には、ガイドワイヤ100の縦断面(YZ断面)の構成が示されており、図2には、図1のII-IIの位置におけるガイドワイヤ100の横断面(XY断面)の構成が示されている。また、図3のA欄、B欄およびC欄には、それぞれ、図1のIIIA-IIIAの位置、IIIB-IIIBの位置およびIIIC-IIICの位置におけるガイドワイヤ100の横断面(XY断面)の構成が示されている。なお、図1では、ガイドワイヤ100の一部分の図示が省略されている。図1において、Z軸正方向側が、体内に挿入される先端側(遠位側)であり、Z軸負方向側が、医師等の手技者によって操作される基端側(近位側)である。図1では、ガイドワイヤ100が全体としてZ軸方向に略平行な直線状となった状態を示しているが、ガイドワイヤ100は湾曲させることができる程度の可撓性を有している。
次に、本実施形態のガイドワイヤ100におけるコイル体30の詳細構成について説明する。上述の通り、本実施形態のガイドワイヤ100のコイル体30は、複数の撚線300から構成され、基端部BPと、先端部APとを有している。コイル体30を構成する複数の撚線300は、それぞれ、基端部BPから先端部APにわたって連続している。換言すれば、基端部BPと先端部APとは、一体に形成されている。先端部APにおけるコイル体30の外径DEは、基端部BPにおけるコイル体30の外径DEと比較して小さい。一方、コイル体30の内径DIは、基端部BPと、先端部APとの両方にわたって略一定である。また、撚線300の外径DFは、例えば0.1~0.4mm程度である。なお、外径DEは、コイル体30の外接円OCの直径であり、内径DIは、コイル体30の内接円ICの直径である。また、撚線300の外径DFは、コアシャフト10の径方向RDにおける長さである。
以上説明したように、本実施形態のガイドワイヤ100は、コアシャフト10と、素線310,330を撚り合わせた撚線300から構成され、コアシャフト10の外周を取り囲むように配置されたコイル体30とを備える。また、コイル体30は、先端部APと基端部BPとを有する。先端部APにおけるコイル体30の外径DEは、基端部BPにおけるコイル体30の外径DEと比較して小さい。また、先端部APにおけるコイル体30の横断面における最外素線331の断面積A1a,A1b,A1cは、基端部BPにおけるコイル体30の横断面における最外素線331の断面積A1と比較して小さい。また、コイル体30の内径DIは一定である。
図4は、第2実施形態におけるガイドワイヤ100Aの構成を概略的に示す説明図である。図4には、ガイドワイヤ100Aの縦断面(YZ断面)の構成が示されている。以下では、第2実施形態のガイドワイヤ100Aの構成の内、上述した第1実施形態のガイドワイヤ100と同一の構成については、同一の符号を付すことによってその説明を適宜省略する。
本明細書で開示される技術は、上述の実施形態および変形例に限られるものではなく、その要旨を逸脱しない範囲において種々の形態に変形することができ、例えば次のような変形も可能である。
