Abstract

An exchange guide wire (10) for positioning and exchanging medical catheters within a bodily passage during a medical procedure which uses an endoscope. The guide wire includes a wire (32) of a length sufficient for exchange of the catheters through the endoscope, a radiopaque flexible coil (38) fixed to the distal end (22) of the wire, and a pattern of stripes (26) endoscopically discernable along the guidewire. A low-friction sleeve (18), for example of a shrink wrap material, jackets the guidewire, the stripes being endoscopically discernable along the length of the jacketed guidewire.
