Abstract
Intravascular devices, systems, and methods are disclosed. In some instances, the intravascular device is a guide wire with an adhesive filled flexible element. For example, in some implementations a sensing guide wire includes a flexible elongate member; a flexible element extending distally from the flexible elongate member; a core member extending within a lumen of the flexible element; at least one flexible adhesive filling at least a portion of the lumen between the core member and the flexible element along a length of the flexible element; and a sensing element positioned distal of the flexible element. Methods of making, manufacturing, and/or assembling such intravascular devices and associated systems are also provided.
