The invention comprises a proximal end fitting for use within a guidewire assembly wherein the proximal end fitting comprises an elongated radially compressible tube. When in use, the tube is compressed against the O-ring seal in the fitting to better facilitate the seal between the O-ring and the guidewire and thereby better control blood reflux.
