Abstract

A guidewire (10) for use in endoscopic retrograde chol-angio pancreato-graphy includes a proximal section defined by a fiber rod (24), a tube (22), and a connection mechanism for attaching the tube (22) and the fiber rod (24) together in a collinear relationship. The guidewire (10) also includes a flexible distal section (19) which is attached to the distal end of the tube. The distal section is comprised of a super-elastic core (20) having a radiopaque marker (40) disposed about its distal end, and at least a portion of the distal section is enveloped by an insulating sleeve (36).
