Abstract
Medical guidewire assembly is movable through guidewire introducer positionable proximate to a biological wall located within the body of a patient. Medical guidewire assembly has flexible distal shaft section configured to extend along the guidewire introducer. Medical guidewire assembly has a predetermined spatial geometry once the flexible distal shaft section is removed from guidewire introducer. Medical guidewire assembly also has a piercing stylet device configured to puncture the biological wall in response to placement of guidewire introducer (in use) proximate to the biological wall, and movement of the flexible distal shaft section through the guidewire introducer. The predetermined spatial geometry is configured to prevent physical contact between the piercing stylet device and adjacently positioned tissue of the patient in response to formation of the predetermined spatial geometry.
