A non-vascular lumen guide wire, comprising a mandrel (1) and a ball head (2) prepared with a metal material, wherein an outer diameter of the insertion end of the mandrel (1) is smaller than the outer diameter of the non-insertion end of the mandrel; the insertion end of the mandrel (1) is connected to the ball head (2), a plastic coating layer (3) is wrapped around the outer side of the mandrel (1), the outer diameter of the ball head (2) is larger than the outer diameter of the insertion end of the plastic coating layer (3), and the outer diameter of the ball head (2) is not larger than the non-insertion end of the plastic coating layer (3). The guide wire, by means of using a ball head (2) with a diameter slightly larger than the plastic coating layer (3) at a far end, may effectively avoid the defects that the guide wire falls off in actual use, or the plastic coating layer (3) at the far end easily rolls up when inserted. The ball head (2) is made of metal material, has a relatively large outer diameter, and has great visibility under an endoscope and an X-ray. A doctor may clearly observe a puncture area reached by the tip end of the guide wire, and the effect of avoiding a guide wire end from puncturing an inner wall of lumens may be realized without the need for a positioning device.
