A guide wire assembly includes a proximal end portion, a distal portion comprising a coil, a hollow stranded wire extending towards the distal portion, and a core wire. The guide wire assembly is characterized in that a proximal tube is provided, which extends from the proximal end portion to a proximal end of the hollow stranded wire such that the hollow stranded wire is directly joined to the proximal tube. The core wire extends into the distal portion and does not extend into the proximal tube. An entire length of the hollow stranded wire is in a range of 7.5 to 22.5% of an entire length of the guide wire assembly.

Sensor and guide wire assembly

Sensor and guide wire assembly () for intravascular measurement of physical variables inside a living body and comprises a proximal end portion () and a sensor element (), which is located in a distal portion of the sensor and guide wire assembly (), and is characterized in that a proximal tube () is provided, which extends from said proximal portion () to a proximal end of a hollow stranded wire (), which extends to the distal end portion wherein the sensor element () is located.
