Abstract
A guidewire having a controlled radiopacity at the guidewire's distal tip. A single spring mounted to the guidewire has one tightly coiled region and a second more loosely coiled less radiopaque region. The loosely coiled region may be coated with plastic to avoid any undesirable tactility of the guidewire's outer surface.
