In a medical guide wire 1, a rear half of a leading bulge portion
(ellipsoidal helical spring) 5 forms a truncated cone shaped front
catheter engagement portion 8. An inner wall of a balloon catheter 2
forms a flared end portion 2A which absorbably fits into the front
catheter engagement portion 8 due to the physical adhesion so to
provisionally connect the balloon catheter 2 to the front catheter
engagement portion 8. The medical guide wire 1 and the balloon catheter 2
are inserted into the blood vessel with one single step procedure when
the medical guide wire 1 is introduced into the blood vessel to place the
balloon portion 10 at the stricture blood vessel area (P).
