Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices relating to guidewire devices that, for example, can be laterally applied to a guidewire and can accommodate a range of guidewire sizes. Guidewire devices may include a hinge, a locking mechanism, or spring-closing mechanisms. The devices may enable medical professionals to safely, accurately, and securely hold, twist, or maneuver guidewires in many types of procedures on humans or other mammals.
Claims21
A method of attaching a guidewire device to a guidewire comprising:
- laying a guidewire in a first padded, substantially half-cylindrical groove extending laterally in a first body having a generally half-cylindrical shape;
- rotating a second body, that has a second padded, generally half-cylindrical groove extending laterally in a second body having a generally half-cylindrical shape, into a closed position such that the first padded groove and the second padded groove form a general circle around an outer surface of the guidewire, thereby to securely hold the guidewire within the guidewire device;
- wherein, the first body and second body are coupled to one another latitudinally around a rotational axis;
- and
- wherein the first body and second body, when rotated into a closed position, are configured to come into contact with one another to remain in place relative to the guidewire.

A guidewire device comprising:
- a first body having a padded, substantially half-cylindrical groove extending laterally in a first body having a generally half-cylindrical shape;
- a second body having a padded, substantially half-cylindrical groove extending laterally in a second body having a generally half-cylindrical shape;
- wherein the first body is hingedly coupled to the second body and configured to rotate around an axis from an open position to a closed position;
- and
- wherein the first body and second body, when rotated into the closed position, are configured to come into contact with one another and remain in place relative to the guidewire.
2 more elements
A guidewire device comprising:
- a substantially circular body having a first substantially semi-circular body hingedly coupled to a second substantially semi-circular body;
- wherein the first semi-circular body has a first plate coupled thereto and wherein the second semi-circular body as a second plate coupled thereto such that when the first and second semi-circular bodies are hinged toward one another, the plates come into contact or close proximity;
- and
- a clip located within the substantially circular body, wherein a set of jaws of the clip are configured to squeeze the first and second plates around a guidewire to thereby hold the guidewire device onto the guidewire.
