摘要:
A catheter comprising a sheath to be inserted into a living body, wherein the sheath includes a tubular reinforcement layer of at least one layer, which is formed with a spiral slit continuous from the distal side to the proximal side thereof; a termination end of the spiral slit is provided on the proximal side of the slit proximal portion at the site of the proximal side of the spiral slit; and at the same time, there is formed a slit termination portion in which inclination angle of the spiral slit with respect to the circumferential direction of the reinforcement layer is larger than that of the slit proximal portion.

Disclosed is a treatment device for occluding a body lumen, including: a hollow shaft which can be inserted into the body lumen; a flat portion forming section which has a pair of arms inserted in the shaft, the arms capable of being protruded from and retracted into a distal end opening of the shaft and expandable widthwise, and which deforms the body lumen into a form having a flat portion as the pair of arms is expanded within the body lumen; and a heating section which is extendable and contractible in a width direction of the flat portion forming section, is extended as the pair of arms is expanded within the body lumen, and heats the flat portion.
摘要:
A medical instrument is disclosed for crushing a thrombus present in a pulmonary artery of a living body by an ultrasonic vibration. The medical instrument includes an elongated main body section capable of being inserted into an airway of the living body, and an ultrasonic oscillation section which can be inserted into the living body by the main body section and which oscillates the ultrasonic vibration inside the living body. By the medical instrument, a thrombus present in a pulmonary artery can be rapidly crushed, whereby a therapeutic effect on pulmonary embolism can be obtained.

A method of treating a varicose vein involves inserting an assembly into the vein, the assembly being comprised of an elongated body possessing a distal end at which is located an energy emitting member having a shape; contacting the inner wall of the vein with the distal end of the energy emitting member having the shape such that the distal end of the energy emitting member contacts the inner wall along a line; rotating the energy emitting member while the energy emitting member contacts the inner wall along the line; and occluding the vein by applying energy from the energy emitting member to the inner wall of the vein
