ABSTRACT:
The pressure measuring guide wire comprises an elongated flexible shaft with a lumen extending therethrough. The lumen is surrounded by a wall forming the shaft and the distal portion of which is provided with slots for pressure medium entry. The distal portion has a thickness, greater than the thickness of the proximal area of the shaft. A coil surrounds the proximal area of the shaft to compensate the difference in kinking resistance between the proximal and distal areas of the shaft.
