ABSTRACT:
The extension guidewire system is used with an inserted guidewire, such as used in a PTCA dilatation balloon catheter system, and includes a snap-connector assembly at and between a distal end of an extension guidewire and a proximal end of an initially inserted guidewire. The connector assembly comprises a snap-in sleeve mounted at the distal end of the extension guidewire, locking structure on the proximal end portion of the initially inserted guidewire and a radially inwardly extended detent on the snap-in sleeve positioned to engage in a gripping manner, and lock against, the locking structure on the proximal end of the initially inserted guidewire.
