Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0033984A1] In the manufacture of a guidewire for medical applications, a mandrel (14) is formed using a wound wire having a first diameter (D1). The wound wire is straightened and cut to appropriate size. Subsequently, the wire is ground down, using center-less grinding, to one or more sections all having diameters (D2, D3) which are less than the first diameter (D1). Optionally, the mandrel (14) thus formed is coated with a hydrophilic coating, and a radiopaque marker affixed thereto.
