Abstract
A guide wire includes a core shaft, a coil body which covers the core shaft, and a coating film which covers the coil body. Portions of the coating film are disposed between adjacent coils of coil body, and gaps are formed between the coils and the portions of the coating film disposed between the adjacent coils. Due to this configuration, the coating the film can be easily bent, and thus the coil body may easily bend. As a result, it is possible to ensure lubricity of guide wire within the blood vessel while also enabling the guide wire to follow the shape of the blood vessel in which it is inserted.
