ABSTRACT:
A guide wire extension system is disclosed which utilizes a magnetic coupling to connect a guide wire to an extension wire. The magnetic coupling may include a magnetic portion and a magnetically responsive portion. Alternatively, the magnetic coupling may include a first magnet portion and a second magnet portion. The magnetic portions may be arranged coaxially or end-to-end. The magnetic portions may also be articulated. The magnetic coupling of the present invention provides an extension system which is both durable and relatively easy to use.
