ABSTRACT:
A hand held vibrating device for vibrating a guide wire used in angioplasty and atherectomy procedures. The vibrating device permits the guide wire to be more easily passed through a stenotic segment of a blood vessel. The vibrating device includes a case, an electric motor mounted within the case, and a clamp member coupled to the electric motor for releasably securing and vibrating the guide wire. In use, the guide wire is threaded through a blood vessel to the site of a stenosis. The guide wire can then be clamped to the vibrating device, which is selectively actuated and manipulated to vibrate and push the guide wire through the stenosis.
