摘要:
A shaft for operating a blood thrombus capturing member (2), comprises a blood thrombus capturing member (3) equipped on the distal end side thereof, and a guide tip (4) quipped at the distal end, through which a guide wire is inserted so as to be capable of relative movement, wherein the shaft (2) is flexible. Therefore, the distal end component of a blood thrombus capturing catheter can be easily guided to a vein constriction, and particularly with a branched vein, the distal end component of the blood thrombus capturing catheter can be easily guided to the targeted branch of the vein.
摘要:
A balloon catheter of novel configuration, which is capable of both efficiently heating a heating element by using a laser light and of ensuring durability by avoiding the laser light directly heating members other than the heating element. Provided is a balloon catheter with a balloon disposed in a distal end section of a shaft and wherein: a tightly wound coil shaped heating element is housed and arranged in the balloon; an optical fiber that irradiates a laser light inside the heating element is disposed; and a supply path that supplies a fluid to inside the balloon through an inside of the heating element and a discharge path that discharges the fluid from inside the balloon through a discharge port positioned on an outside of the heating element are disposed.

摘要:
A sheath unit for recovering a thrombus capture member, in which the thrombus capture member can be accommodated without leakage of a thrombus, and which can be more smoothly passed through a lesion, and a thrombus capture catheter unit for capturing the freed thrombus are provided. The sheath unit for recovering a thrombus capture member includes a sheath having a flexible tube at its tip, a portion of the flexible tube being reduced in diameter. A thrombus capture catheter unit includes the sheath unit for recovering the thrombus capture member and a thrombus capture member. The thrombus capture member which is expanded is accommodated into the sheath and a crossed wire member and a portion of a filter part constituting the thrombus capture member are accommodated in the flexible tube, thereby diameter-reducing an opening part of the filter part.

It is an object to provide a filter for thrombus capture catheters with a thin wall and a sufficient strength and a method of producing the same. A filter for thrombus capture catheters is produced by a method comprising the steps of: arranging a plurality of wires so as to run helically and cross each other, thereby forming a cross wire assembly 2 with a spindle-shaped configuration, which is expanded at a middle portion 2C and converged at distal portion 2A and proximal portion 2B; and forming a parachute canopy-shaped filtering section 3 on one side of said cross wire assembly corresponding to approximately half of the spindle-shaped configuration by the dip coating method using a filter material.

A blood flow blocking catheter, comprises: a puncture needle component having a puncture needle capable of puncturing a vein; and a sheath that covers said puncture needle component, and a balloon catheter that can be inserted into and removed from a lumen of the puncture needle component and has at its distal end a balloon that can block off blood flow. With the present invention, a balloon catheter can be easily inserted into a vein, and the balloon inflated, without making a large incision in the vein. Therefore, the temporary obstruction of blood flow with a balloon catheter can be carried out more easily, and this simplifies the surgery and makes it less invasive. Thus, it is possible to obtain a blood flow blocking catheter with which vascular anastomosis can be performed more safely and in less time.
摘要:
An intracardiac suture device comprises: a first shaft assembly 1 including a first shaft 11 and a first suture needle-holding means 4 provided at a distal end of the first shaft 11; a second shaft assembly 2 comprising a second shaft 21; a third shaft assembly 3 comprising a third shaft 31 and a handling portion 33; and a puncture assembly 5 provided at a proximal end thereof with a second suture needle-holding means 51. The second shaft 21 is protrusible by sliding-movement from the distal end of the first shaft 11 toward the first suture needle-holding means 4, and a suture needle 6 is transferable between the first suture needle-holding means 4 and the second suture needle-holding means 51 when the third shaft 31 is slid to the distal end of the second shaft 21 after sliding the second shaft 21 to a position where a suture site is held between the second shaft 21 and the first suture needle-holding means 4.
摘要:
A balloon catheter for interatrial septum dehiscence including an expandable and contractible balloon, and a shaft to which the balloon can be attached at the distal end thereof, wherein fixing members are provided at balloon mounting portions to be attached to the shaft. The fixing members are a pair of members in opposed relationship to each other at the ends of the balloon. The pair of members generally has an identical shape.

A catheter assembly for intracardiac suture comprises a hooking catheter (4) provided at a distal end with a suture-hooking member (42) and at the proximal end with a manipulating element (41) at a proximal end thereof; a first sheath (3) for movably holding the hooking catheter therein; a piercing catheter (2) for movably holding the first sheath, provided at a distal end with a piercing needle and at the proximal end with a hemostatic valve 29; and a second sheath (1) for movably holding the piercing catheter, provided at the proximal end with a hemostatic valve 19. The piercing catheter (2) and second sheath (1) are provided at each distal portion with a side hole (21, 11) so that the side hole (21) of the piercing catheter (2) is laid to lie the side hole (11) of the second sheath (1) when the tip of the piercing catheter (2) is reached to the tip of the second sheath to allow the first sheath (3) to protrude through the overlapped side holes (21, 11).
