shortcuts have been taking in proper document style. When in doubt, it is best to consult a reliable source, such as a Steadman's dictionary.

page 776 of Stedman's Dictionary, 27th Edition:
guide wire: A wire or spring used as a guide for placement of a larger device or prosthesis, such as a catheter or intramedullary pin.

page 750 of same dictionary:
glide wire: A hydrophilic or lubricated guide wire generally used in the urinary tract.

When referring to trade names of guide wires or glide wires, use the trademark spelling.

Thanks a million!!! - tired
