ABSTRACT:
Alternative designs and materials suitable for connecting different guidewire sections together. More particularly, connecting two portions of a guidewire having different material compositions with a connector having a third composition which is readily weldable to each of the dissimilar portions of the guidewire. A transition area may be designed to provide a region of desired flexibility characteristics.
