FIG. 3 is a top view thereof;

FIG. 4 is a bottom view thereof; and,

FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of a portion thereof defined by area 5 - 5 shown in FIG. 1 .

The portions of the guide wire for medical use shown in broken lines form no part of the claimed design.

The broken line showing immediately adjacent the shaded areas represents boundaries to the claimed design and forms no part of the claimed design.

The broken away symbols in the drawings indicate that any portion of the article beyond what is shown forms no part of the claimed design.

None of the broken lines form any part of the claimed design.
