DEVICES AND METHODS FOR UNWRAPPING OR PREVENTING THE WRAPPING OF ELONGATED MEDICAL DEVICES
Devices and methods for unwrapping (or otherwise overcoming the entanglement of), or preventing the wrapping of, guidewires and similar elongated medical devices deployed (or about to be deployed) in vessels of a patient. Embodiments have sufficient flexibility to be deployed by distally threading at least one lumen over a guidewire, and sufficient torqueability to enable axial rotation of the combination to unwrap the entangled devices or prevent further entanglement as additional guidewires are advanced through other lumens.
