Abstract
Guide wire extension connecting means are described in which a stretchable tube acts as the connecting element. The stretchable tube has a lumen or recess into which the guide wire is inserted. As withdrawal of the guide wire is attempted, the connecting element stretches and collapses, thereby grabbing the guide wire and resisting withdrawal.
