GUIDE WIRE HOLDER FOR ACCOMMODATING A MEDICAL GUIDE WIRE AND HOLDING IT IN PLACE, AND FOR BEING AFFIXED TO A MEDICAL DEVICE, PARTICULARLY TO AN ENDOSCOPE
In a guide wire holder (1) for receiving and securing a medical guide wire (4) and for mounting on a medical appliance, in particular on an endoscope, with a mounting part (2) through which the guide wire (4) can be guided, and with a guide wire support (3) which is connected to and protrudes from the mounting part (2) and allows the guide wire (4) to be secured by means of a guide wire receiver, which contains a guide wire deflector (6) that tensions the guide wire (4) and deflects it, at a distance from the mounting part (2), in a direction leading away from its direction of passage through the mounting part (2) and which is followed, at a further distance from the mounting part (2), by an additional guide wire deflector (9), the additional guide wire deflector (9) is formed, at or near the top of the guide wire support (3), with a guide wire contact surface, on which the guide wire (4) can be guided along a guide track, by means of which, in the area of the guide wire contact surface, a frictional resistance can be exerted relative to the guide wire (4) guided over the top of the guide wire support (3).
