Abstract

A guidewire is capable of pressing against a lesion without bending excessively, thereby ensuring reliable use. The guidewire includes a shaft, an outer coil provided around a distal portion of the shaft, a first inner coil provided within a distal portion of the outer coil, and a second inner coil provided proximal to the first inner coil within the outer coil. A first joining member joins the shaft to a proximal end of the first inner coil, or a proximal portion of the first inner coil distal to the proximal end of the first inner coil. A second joining member joins the shaft to a distal end of the second inner coil, or a distal portion of the second inner coil proximal to the distal end of the second inner coil. The first joining member and the second joining member are spaced from each other in a longitudinal direction of the guidewire.
