Abstract: A folding system for a fabric product is provided. The folding system includes an information obtaining device, a folding device and a width controlling device. The information obtaining device obtains first information held by a fabric product. The folding device includes a platen member, a width adjusting mechanism and a folding mechanism. The platen member is for holding the fabric product. The width adjusting mechanism adjusts the width directional length of the platen member. The folding mechanism folds the fabric product on the platen member. The width controlling device controls the width adjusting mechanism by using the first information obtained by the information obtaining device.

Abstract: A folding device is provided that includes a platen member, a folding member, a folding member mechanism and a horizontal side moving mechanism. A folding object is put on the platen member while an extended part thereof is extended from at least one of right and left sides of the platen member. The folding member mechanism moves the folding member towards the platen member for folding the extended part of the folding object. The horizontal slide moving mechanism slides and moves at least one of the platen member and the folding member for separating the platen member and the folding member along a horizontal direction.

Abstract: A medical guide wire (1) is made in which at least a fluororesin coating layer (13) is formed on the surface of a metal wire (11), wherein particulate matter is present in the fluororesin coating layer (13), and the fluororesin coating layer covers the particulate matter and at least some of the particulate matter is formed in surface protrusion-shaped projections (14). It is thus possible to provide a medical guide wire that is inexpensive to manufacture and whose strength is unaffected and frictional resistance is low, and manufacturing method for the same.
