Abstract

See full text

In a method for making a wire guide, a fluoropolymer coating is removed from a distal section of an FP coated core wire to expose a metallic portion. A polymer coating is applied to a proximal section of the FP coated core wire such that the polymer coating overlays at least a portion of the FP coating, and to the distal section of the FP coated core wire including the exposed metal portion. The polymer coating is removed from the FP coating to form the wire guide having a proximal portion with the FP coating and a distal portion with the polymer coating. A hydrophilic coating may be applied to the distal portion over the polymer coating.
