Abstract
A guide wire assembly includes a proximal end portion, a distal portion comprising a coil, a hollow stranded wire extending towards the distal portion, and a core wire. The guide wire assembly is characterized in that a proximal tube is provided, which extends from the proximal end portion to a proximal end of the hollow stranded wire such that the hollow stranded wire is directly joined to the proximal tube. The core wire extends into the distal portion and does not extend into the proximal tube. An entire length of the hollow stranded wire is in a range of 7.5 to 22.5% of an entire length of the guide wire assembly.
