Abstract
A guide wire has a wire body; and a distal side coating layer that covers a distal portion of the wire body. The guide wire has a cylindrical member that has an outer diameter substantially the same as an outer diameter of a proximal portion of the distal side coating layer, that encircles a portion of the wire body and that has a distal portion positioned proximate the proximal portion of the distal side coating layer; and a joint member that is disposed at a proximal side of the cylindrical member and joins the cylindrical member and the wire body. The joint member has a gradually decreasing outer diameter portion whose outer diameter gradually decreases toward a proximal side of the wire body, and an outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical member has a surface continuous with the gradually decreasing outer diameter portion.
