An antithrombotic surface comprising polymer layers which are in different charged states and alternately layered, characterized by having three-dimensional peaks and valleys formed thereon. The antithrombotic surface as described above which is further characterized in that the peaks and valleys are 15 nm or more but not more than 200 nm in height and depth respectively. A medical device characterized by being provided with the antithrombotic surface as described above. Thus, a thin and highly antithrombotic surface or medical device can be obtained by a relatively convenient method.

A stent that can further reduce the incidence of repeated stenosis (restenosis) that has been experienced in conventional stents is provided. Onto the outer surface of a stent body, a structure for cutting body tissues and the like is disposed so that during stent expansion in the outward radial direction and placement, the body tissues, such as blood vessels, are cut. Thus, the stress and unrestricted damage applied to body tissues such as blood vessels can be reduced, and restenosis can be suppressed. By coating the stent with a drug, a stent having enhanced effects can be provided.

It is intended to provide a resin foam which can be preferably used for medical use, and a flexible silicone type resin foam having a water-absorbing property. The resin foam which has a low toxicity and excellent physical properties for medical use such as moisture permeability, skin compatibility and low irritation can be obtained by using a resin which has a siloxane unit and an oxyalkylene unit in its molecular structure and does not contain a unit derived from an isocyanate group. Further, the flexible silicone type resin foam having a water-absorbing property can be obtained by allowing it to have a specific resin composition and a foam structure.

A medical device for body cavity which has a main stent body and a sheet-shaped member having an opening and covering at least a part of the main stent body as described above. It is desirable that, when the main stent body is dilated from the first diameter in the compressed state to the second diameter, the above-described sheet-shaped member spreads so as to cover at least a part of the main stent body without restricting the movement of the main stent body toward the circumferential direction while the shape of the opening of the above-described sheet-shaped member is retained even after the dilation of the main stent body. The above-described medical device for body cavity is applied to a delivery system which has a first catheter for transporting the medical device for body cavity into the body. In this delivery system, the above-described medical device for body cavity is located at the front end of the first catheter as described above so as to allow indwelling thereof.

A balloon catheter 1 is configured so as to comprise a catheter shaft 2 formed by joining a proximal-side tubular member 3 and a distal-side tubular member 4, an adapter member 6 connected to the base end of the catheter shaft 2, and a balloon 5 joined to the distal end of the catheter shaft 2. A metal coiled elastic member 10 is deployed in the internal space in the adapter member 6, so that it can move toward the distal end. This coiled elastic body 10 abuts on a ring-shaped wall part 11a formed on the outer circumferential surface of the base end of an elastic force transmitting member 11 and supports the elastic force transmitting member 11 to the distal side. The leading end of a linear member 12 that is one of the components of the elastic force transmitting member 11 reaches to an internal space 5f in the balloon and is bonded to the outer circumferential surface of a guide wire passing tube 7. Thus the elastic supporting force of the coiled elastic body 10 is transmitted via the elastic force transmitting member 11 to the distal-side sleeve part 5d of the balloon 5, and tension is imparted to the balloon 5 in the axial direction.
摘要:
As a therapy for angiostenosis, angioplasty (PTA, PTCA), in which a small balloon is inflated in a blood vessel to expand the vessel, has been widely practiced as a minimally invasive treatment. In this therapy, however, repeated stenosis (restenosis) occurs at a high incidence. In order to reduce the restenosis rate, procedures that use indwelling stents have gained popularity in recent years. However, restenosis has been reported in about 20% to 30% of stent placement cases. Although attempts have been made to coat the stent with a drug that regulates occlusion, stenosis still occurs at a high frequency. At least two layers including an immunosuppressant-containing layer and an antiinflammatory agent-containing layer are provided on the surface of an indwelling stent.

A tube device for insertion into a lacrimal passage, optimized according to the structure of a lacrimal passage and capable of being operated without impairing the functional effect of a lacrimal passage endoscope. A tube device for insertion into a lacrimal passage comprises a pair of tubes to be placed in the lacrimal passage. Openings are formed at both ends of the pair of tubes. A reinforcement body is disposed and held in the vicinity of each opening at a position located at a predetermined distance from the opening.

The therapeutic catheter comprises a lumen communicating from the user's side end to the terminal tip part thereof, a main shaft having, at its tip, a guide wire lumen, a hub at its user's side end, and a slit in the guide wire lumen through its entire length, or the therapeutic catheter comprises a main shaft having a lumen communicating from the user's side end to the terminal tip part thereof, a guide wire shaft having, at its tip, a guide wire lumen, a hub at the user's side end of the main shaft, and a slit in the guide wire shaft through its entire length. The guide wire or the shaft of the other catheter playing the role of the guide wire can be rapidly disposed in the guide wire lumen through the slit.

The medical balloon catheter of the present invention comprises a catheter shaft composed of a distal end shaft and a proximal end shaft and a balloon on the distal end of the distal end shaft, wherein the proximal end shaft is composed of a single member and the distal end portion of the proximal end shaft is lower in rigidity than the other parts thereof. The present invention also provides a medical balloon catheter having a structure in which a tube for passing a guidewire inside thereof is arranged so as to pass inside the balloon and the balloon and tube are fused together in the vicinity of the distal end of the catheter, wherein the ratio of the outer diameter of the small-diameter portion on the distal end side of the tube to the outer diameter of the proximal end portion is no less than 0.85.
摘要:
Medical devices that are inserted into a body and that are used for treating a lumen inside a body sometimes use an insertion aid during insertion. However, there was a tendency for the relative positions of the insertion aid and the medical device to change, causing problems such as reduced operability and the insertion aid breaking the medical device during insertion. Disclosed are an insertion aid used by being placed within a medical device, and a medical device using said insertion aid. The insertion aid has a mechanism for holding said medical device from the inside, and said medical device uses said insertion aid, thereby making it possible to fix the relative positions of the insertion aid and the medical device when necessary.
