Improved medical filaments for use with dilators to be inserted into a patient, for example into the vascular lumen, are provided, as well as combinations of filaments and dilators Methods for use of such filaments and filament-dilator combinations are also described. The filament includes a proximal segment and a distal segment. The diameter of the distal segment is greater than the diameter of the proximal segment. The change in diameter is abrupt, providing a discrete step transition at a point along the filament which presents a proximally-facing surface on the distal segment When the proximal segment of the filament is fully inserted into a dilator having a distal tip adapted for insertion into a patient, the dilator distal tip firmly abuts the proximally-facing end surface of the distal segment.

L'invention porte sur des filaments médicaux améliorés pour utilisation avec des dilatateurs devant être introduits dans un patient, par exemple, dans une lumière vasculaire, ainsi que sur des combinaisons de filaments et de dilatateurs. L'invention porte également sur des procédés d'utilisation de tels filaments et de telles combinaisons filament-dilatateur. Le filament comprend un segment proximal et un segment distal. Le diamètre du segment distal est supérieur au diamètre du segment proximal. Le changement de diamètre est brutal, fournissant une transition par étape discontinue en un point du filament qui présente une surface proximalement opposée sur le segment distal. Lorsque le segment proximal du filament est entièrement introduit à l'intérieur d'un dilatateur ayant un embout distal adapté pour une introduction à l'intérieur d'un patient, l'embout distal du dilatateur vient fermement en butée contre la surface d'extrémité proximalement opposée du segment distal.
