[Obj ect] Provided are a balloon coating method and a balloon coating apparatus by which the thickness and/or morphological form of a drug in a coating formed on a balloon can be appropriately set. [Solution] The balloon coating method and the balloon coating apparatus (50) are for forming a coating layer (32) on a surface of a balloon (30). The balloon coating method includes: a coating step of moving a coating section (94) for applying a coating liquid (R) containing a drug relative to the balloon (30) in the direction of an axis (X), while rotating the balloon (30) about the axis (X) of the balloon (30), thereby to apply the coating liquid (R) to an outer surface of the balloon (30); a detection step of detecting the distance (L) of a dried part (B) where the coating liquid (R) applied to the outer surface of the balloon (30) has been dried from the coating section (94); and a control step of controlling moving velocity (Sx) of the coating section (94) relative to the balloon (30) in such a manner that the distance (L) of the dried part (B) from the coating section (94) is maintained at a preliminarily set designated distance (L0).

摘要:
To provide a system for delivering an oxygen carrier, whereby a deoxygenated oxygen carrier can be oxygenated and efficiently delivered to an ischemic tissue, an oxygenation device for an oxygen carrier, and a housing for an oxygen carrier. A system (10) for delivering an oxygen carrier, the system including: a housing (2) in which a hemoglobin-based oxygen carrier is housed in a deoxygenated state; an oxygenation part for oxygenating the deoxygenated oxygen carrier; and a long element (5) which can be inserted into a living organism and can release the oxygenated oxygen carrier through a lumen (52) that is formed inside thereof.

Provided are a balloon catheter that can effectively deliver a drug to living body tissue and a manufacturing method thereof, and a treatment method. A balloon catheter 10 has a balloon 12 at a distal portion of a catheter shaft 11, and is provided on a surface of the balloon 12 with a plurality of elongate bodies 33 which are crystals of a water-insoluble drug extending while having independent long axes. The balloon 12 in a deflated state has a plurality of wing portions 40 in a circumferential direction, and a circumferential surface portion 41 along a circumferential direction of the catheter shaft 11, the wing portions 40 being folded along the circumferential direction of the balloon 12. That surface of the circumferential surface portion 41 which faces the folded wing portion 40 has a region in which tip portions of the elongate bodies 33 are not in contact with the surface of the balloon 12 or with other elongate bodies 33. That surface of the folded wing portion 40 which faces an outer circumferential side has a region in which the tip portions of the elongate bodies 33 are in contact with the surface of the balloon 12 or with other elongate bodies 33.

Provided is a balloon coating method and apparatus which can perform coating while freely controlling, for example, the thickness of a coating layer and/or the morphological form of a drug. The balloon coating method and the balloon coating apparatus (50) are for forming a coating layer (32) on a surface of a balloon (30). The balloon coating method includes: a pulling step of pulling the balloon (30) in the direction of an axis (X) of the balloon (30) to thereby straighten a bend of the balloon (30); and a coating step of rotating the balloon (30) about the axis (X) of the balloon (30), with the balloon (30) maintained in the bend-straightened state, and coating an outer surface of the balloon (30) with a coating liquid (R) containing a drug.

摘要:
A balloon coating method which makes it possible to suitably set the thickness and morphological form of a drug in a coating formed on a balloon is provided. The balloon coating method is for forming a coating layer (32) containing a water-insoluble drug on an outer surface of a balloon (30) of a balloon catheter (10). The balloon coating method includes an application step in which, where a flexible dispensing tube (94) for supplying a coating solution containing the water-insoluble drug and a solvent is formed at its end portion with an opening portion (95) for discharging the coating solution therethrough and when the opening portion-formed end portion side of the dispensing tube (94) is kept in contact with the outer surface of the balloon (30) in such a manner as to be oriented in a direction opposite to a rotating direction of the balloon (30) while the balloon (30) is rotated about an axis of the balloon (30), the coating solution is discharged through the opening portion (95) and applied to the outer surface of the balloon (30) while the dispensing tube (94) is moved relative to the balloon (30) in an axial direction X of the balloon (30).
