During use there is a risk that a male connector for a guide wire is bent. With the present male connector () more material with high modulus of elasticity can be provided inside the male connector (), which makes the male connector () more bending resistant. The male connector () comprises a core wire (), a plurality of conductive members () spaced apart longitudinally along said core wire (), a plurality of conductors () disposed along the core wire (), each of the conductors () being connected to a respective conductive member (). The core wire () has such a shape that least one longitudinal cavity is provided, which longitudinal cavity remains substantially intact when the male connector () is bent, thereby protecting the conductors (), which are disposed in said cavity, from being damaged.

Bending resistant male connector for a guide wire

The sensor and guide wire assembly having a sensor element is inserted into the patient's body. Acoustic or electromagnetic waves are them emitted from an external source toward the sensor element. The sensor element receives the incident waves and enters into a resonating state. The characteristics of the resonance correspond to the variable or variables to be measured. A transducer is located externally from the patient's body and receives the scattered wave and transmits a resultant signal to an electronic drive and detection unit for signal analysis.
