Abstract
A sensor guide wire for an intravascular measurement of at least one physiological or other variable in a living body may have a proximal region, a distal sensor region, and a tip region. The sensor guide wire may further comprise a sensor element arranged in the sensor region, and comprising a sensor portion for measuring the variable and to generate a sensor signal in response to the variable. Furthermore, a core wire, having a longitudinal axis A, and comprising at least a tip core wire portion, extends essentially along the tip region of the sensor guide wire. The tip core wire portion may further comprise a distal tip. At least a major part of the tip core wire portion is provided with a polymer layer essentially enclosing the at least major part. The distal tip of the tip core wire portion may further comprise an enlargement.
