 Abstract

The invention relates to a guidewire suitable for guiding a catheter into an occluded blood vessel, comprising a torsionally rigid shaft having a proximal end and a distal end, and on the distal end of the shaft there is an elongated flexible body, designed to follow the course of the blood vessel, which body retains its shape when during use the guidewire is subjected to a pushing load, wherein the distally oriented head of the flexible body is provided with a flexible trailer wire, which during use follows the flow in the blood vessel.
