Patent number: 11383067Abstract: A medical elongated body is disclosed that suppresses elongation in an axial direction while maintaining high flexibility and has high torque transmission capability even in a bent state. The medical elongated body includes a tube shaped body. The tube shaped body has a slit extending in a spiral shape while meandering, the slit is formed from a pair of a first opposing surface and a second opposing surface, the first opposing surface forms a first convex portion, the first convex portion has a first wide portion having a width wider in a circumferential direction Y, the second opposing surface forms a first concave portion which surrounds and accommodates the first wide portion, the first convex portion has a first plane portion and a first side portion connected to both end portions, and in a circumferential developed view, the first side portion and the first plane portion have tangential discontinuity.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2019Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Assignee: TERUMO KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Yuichi Tada, Takashi Kitaoka, Mizuho Hirao

Publication number: 20220175414Abstract: A medical device is disclosed that can help prevent an object existing in a body lumen from clogging a lumen of an elongated member. The medical device including an elongated member having a lumen extending in an axial direction; an insertion member inserted in the lumen of the elongated member on a distal side of the lumen; and a breaking member fixed on an inner surface of the elongated member such that a gap is formed between the insertion member and the breaking member in the lumen of the elongated member on the distal side, and wherein the breaking member exerts a shearing force or a stretching force to the object by rotating relative to the insertion member while the object is between the insertion member and the breaking member.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 1, 2022Publication date: June 9, 2022Applicant: TERUMO KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Yuichi TADA, Mizuho HIRAO

Patent number: 10874423Abstract: A medical device is disclosed for cutting an object in a living body lumen. The medical device includes a rotatable elongate member, rotating member having a cutting portion cutting the object and disposed on the distal end side of the elongate member for rotating together with rotation of the elongate member; and a distal member having a guide portion disposed on the distal end side of the rotating member with a space left from the rotating member and a supporting portion which supports the guide portion and defines a dimension of the space in an axial direction of the elongate member. The guide portion is disposed at a position at which the guide portion overlaps with part of the cutting portion and exposes part of the cutting portion as viewed from the distal end side of the distal member.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2017Date of Patent: December 29, 2020Assignee: TERUMO KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Yuuichi Tada, Kousuke Nishio, Mizuho Hirao
