Alternative designs, materials and manufacturing methods for medical devices. Some embodiments relate to a medical device including two or more components or structures that are connected through heat crimping. In some embodiments, the heat crimping involves the use of a heat source to heat the material of one of the structures being connected to a point where it can flow or deform onto a surface of the other of the structures, and can thereafter be allowed to cool and form a mechanical bond between the two structures. In some embodiments, LASER energy is used as the heat source. Several alternative guidewire tip constructions and/or designs including methods and techniques of construction are also disclosed.

La présente invention concerne différentes conceptions, différents matériaux et des procédés de fabrication permettant d'élaborer des dispositifs médicaux. Certains modes de réalisation concernent un dispositif médical comprenant au moins deux composants ou structures qui sont reliés par sertissage à chaud. Dans certains modes de réalisation, le sertissage à chaud consiste à utiliser une source de chaleur pour chauffer la matière de l'une des structures qui doit être reliée à un point au niveau duquel elle peut s'écouler ou se déformer sur une surface de l'autre structure, puis à la laisser refroidir et à permettre la formation d'une liaison entre les deux structures. Dans certains modes de réalisation, l'énergie laser est utilisée en tant que source d'énergie. Cette invention concerne également plusieurs constructions et/ou conceptions de pointe fil-guide, y compris des procédés et des techniques permettant de les réaliser.
