Abstract: A dilator (30) insertable into a catheter (20) includes a tubular shaft part (40), and a tubular flexible part (50) located on a distal end side of the shaft part (40) and formed of a resin more flexible than the shaft part (40), and includes, in the shaft part (40) and/or the flexible part (50), a physical property inclined part (42) in which rigidity gradually decreases from a proximal end side toward a distal end side. The catheter assembly is capable of achieving both stable catheter insertability into a blood vessel and reduction in risk of blood vessel perforation.

Abstract: A catheter for a hepatic artery introduced from an arm of a patient includes a first bent portion, a second bent portion distal of the first bent portion and bent to the same side as the first bent portion, a third bent portion disposed on a distal side of the second bent portion and bent to an opposite side from the second bent portion, and a most distal end portion disposed distal of the third bent portion, in which a minimum radius of curvature of the first bent portion is larger than a minimum radius of curvature of the second bent portion. The most distal end portion is directed to a common hepatic artery and the first bent portion comes into contact with an aorta wall on an opposite side from a celiac artery when the second bent portion contacts a blood vessel wall of the celiac artery.

Abstract: A hemostatic device is disclosed, which includes a covering portion disposed so as to cover a site where bleeding is to be stopped on a hand of a patient; a pressing portion that compresses the site where bleeding is to be stopped when the covering portion covers the site where bleeding is to be stopped; a band portion wrappable around a periphery of the patient's hand at the site where bleeding is to stopped; a restriction portion that restricts movement of the securing portion in an axial direction; and wherein the pressing portion is not disposed on the centerline of the restriction.

Abstract: A hemostatic device can perform hemostasis by compressing a puncture site on a hand of a patient, and can prevent a movable range of fingers from being narrowed or can prevent misalignment at a wearing position, when the hemostatic device is worn on the hand. The hemostatic device has a covering portion to cover a site where bleeding is to be stopped on a hand of a patient, and a pressing portion that compresses the site where bleeding is to be stopped, in a state where the covering portion covers the site where bleeding is to be stopped. The covering portion includes a securing portion that surrounds at least a portion of the hand while covering the pressing portion, and a restriction portion that restricts a movement of the securing portion in an axial direction. The restriction portion is disposed between adjacent fingers and of the hand.

Abstract: An introducer sheath, which is a medical elongated body, includes: a catheter main body; a hub fixed to a proximal portion of the catheter main body; a drug portion disposed on an outer surface of the catheter main body; and a support member configured to be connected to the hub and cover the drug portion of the catheter main body, in which the support member has a base portion rotatable in a circumferential direction of the catheter main body and a covering member disposed so as to protrude from a distal end of the base portion and cover the drug portion while overlapping at least a part of the base portion in a radial direction of the catheter main body, and the covering member is configured to move relative to the catheter main body and expose the drug portion as the base portion rotates.

Abstract: An elongated medical catheter body, which may constitute an introducer sheath includes: a catheter body; a hub fixed to a proximal portion of the catheter body; and a support member connected to the hub and configured to cover of the proximal portion of the catheter body. The catheter body includes a groove on the outer surface of the catheter body, and the support member is disposed so as to partially cover the groove. The support member includes a drug part having a drug solution, and a partition wall portion is located between the drug part and the groove, and the partition wall portion is configured to make the drug part communicate with the groove portion upon being broken by pressure or by causing damage.

The restriction portion is disposed between adjacent fingers and of the hand.

Abstract: A catheter includes a tubular body comprised of inner and outer layers, and an embedded reinforcement body. The tubular body includes a substantially linear main body portion and a shaped portion that is bent so the shaped portion lies in substantially the same plane. The shaped portion includes a first bent portion defining a first angle distal of the main body portion, a second bent portion defining a second angle distal of the first bent portion and bent to the same side as the first bent portion, a third bent portion defining a third angle distal of the second bent portion and bent to a side opposite the second bent portion, and a most distal portion distal of the third bent portion. A physical property changing point exists between a proximal portion of the first bent portion and a distal portion of the second bent portion.

Abstract: A catheter is disclosed that can easily reach and be engaged with a uterine artery or a prostate artery from a radial artery and a treatment method. The catheter includes a tubular body having a lumen extending from a proximal end to a distal end. The tubular body includes, at a distal portion of the tubular body, a shaped portion shaped in a manner of being bent on substantially the same plane. The shaped portion includes a proximal bent portion bent to define a first angle, a distal bent portion defining a second angle distal of the proximal bent portion, an intermediate linear portion that is linear, and a distal linear portion that is linear. A first minimum curvature radius of the proximal bent portion is greater than 3 times and less than 11 times a second minimum curvature radius of the distal bent portion.

Abstract: A catheter for a hepatic artery introduced from an arm of a patient includes a first bent portion, a second bent portion distal of the first bent portion and bent to the same side as the first bent portion, a third bent portion disposed on a distal side of the second bent portion and bent to an opposite side from the second bent portion, and a most distal end portion disposed distal of the third bent portion, in which a minimum radius of curvature of the first bent portion is larger than a minimum radius of curvature of the second bent portion. The most distal end portion is directed to a common hepatic artery and the first bent portion comes into contact with an aorta wall on an opposite side from a celiac artery when the second bent portion contacts a blood vessel wall of the celiac artery.

Abstract: A medical elongated body that is capable of improving convenience during use by a surgeon, and capable of preventing peeling, from a catheter main body, of a drug portion (a hydrophilic coating) containing metal ions and a drug when disposed on a wound site of a patient. An introducer sheath includes a tubular sheath configured to be percutaneously inserted into a blood vessel, and a hub connected to a proximal portion of the tubular sheath, in which the tubular sheath includes a first region and a second region located on a proximal side relative to the first region, the first region has a first hydrophilic coating having lubricity, the second region includes a groove portion extending from a distal side of the tubular sheath toward a proximal side of the tubular sheath, the groove portion having a second hydrophilic coating containing at least one of metal ions and a drug.
