Abstract
- A patent has been issued to Abbott Cardiovascular Systems Inc. for a dimpled joint for a guidewire. The invention relates to the field of guidewires used to advance intraluminal devices within body lumens. The guidewire has a joint with a smooth outer surface in the form of a dome shape, and a plurality of dimples are disposed on the surface of the joint. These dimples provide increased distal support, improved steerability, and reduced risk of damage when the guidewire is advanced through a patient's vasculature. The dimples can be formed using a laser and have specific spacing, diameters, and depths. The guidewire also includes an elongated core member and can be used for various cardiovascular procedures.
