ABSTRACT:
A catheter guidewire for use in inserting a catheter into a subject. The guidewire includes a center wire core surrounded by a coiled wire sheath that is Teflon coated on an outside surface. The extreme distal end of the rod widens to a sphere. The rod and sheath are pre-bent to a desired form. As the core is rotated inside the sheath, the distal end of the guidewire is re-oriented in the direction of rotation.
