Abstract
In a method of making a metallic thin wire, one single metallic thin wireis prepared to have a predetermined length with a middle portion of the one single metallic thin wireas a fixed portion. Front and rear half portions of the one single metallic thin wireare twisted with a tensile weight W applied to the front and rear half portions in the lengthwise direction. The one single metallic thin wireis processed with a heat treatment to remove a residual stress. This provides the metallic thin wirewith a high rotation-following capability and high torque transmissibility, thus enabling artisans to usefully apply the metallic thin wireto a main wire componentof a medical tool and equipment.
