  • Patent number: 8551073
    Abstract: A catheter device (K, K1, K2 and K3) has a flexible hollow tube body (1) formed by a plurality of austenitic stainless steel wires (2) cylindrically stranded to provide a hollow structure. An inner surface of the flexible hollow tube body (1) has a convex-concave structure represented by the stainless steel wires (2) to provide helical grooves (30). A leading distal end of the flexible hollow tube body (1) is formed into a knife-edge circle configuration to provide a knife-edge circle front (3), thus imparting a perforative capability to improve its quality and performance.

  • Patent number: 7958894
    Abstract: A drape for clean operation is a flexible bag-shaped structure for maintaining a substantially closed operating space around an operation site. The bag-shaped structure comprises a bottom wall 1 and a transparent top wall 2 and has a closed proximal end 100a and a closed distal end 100b. The bottom wall 1 is provided with at least one operation site-revealing opening 3 close to the proximal end, and the top wall 2 is provided with at least one pair of hand insertion parts 4 at a position close to the operation site-revealing opening 3 to allow the physician to aseptically insert the hands into the operating space, and a closed, openable and closable medical device supply port 5 for supplying medical devices required for operations at a position away from the operation site-revealing opening 3.

  • Patent number: 7442184
    Abstract: A medicinal liquid injection catheter includes a flexible main body, a needle-like tubular member, a medicinal liquid supply device, and a balloon. The tubular member is inserted in the main body and an end portion of the tubular member projects from a side hole provided in the main body. The medicinal liquid supply device accommodates a medicinal liquid, and is connected to the tubular member to supply the medicinal liquid through the tubular member. The balloon is attached to an outer portion of the main body and the balloon is expansible in substantially the same direction as a direction in which the portion of the tubular member projects. The medicinal liquid injection catheter additionally includes first and second guide wires. The second guide wire projects from the main body in a direction which intersects a direction in which the first guide wire projects from the main body.

  • Publication number: 20080094772
    Abstract: The present invention provides an arrester in which energy during discharge is not concentrated in one point and which has good responsiveness to overvoltage. The arrester is provided with an energy absorber 3 that absorbs energy when a lightning strike occurs, and a pair of conductive electrodes 1 and 2. Between the pair of conductive electrodes 1 and 2, two air gaps 9 are formed in series, between the conductive electrode 1 and the energy absorber 3, and between the conductive electrode 2 and the energy absorber 3. The two air gaps 9 include planer gaps.

  • Publication number: 20050004522
    Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide an infusion device that can be easily inserted into the body and that when inserted into a blood vessel reliably ensures the flow of blood. The infusion device is provided with a needle-shaped tube member having a sharp tip in any one lumen of the three lumens provided within a tubular member that can be inserted into the body in such a manner that it can move axially, an extrusion aperture provided in the tubular member through which the needle-shaped tube member is extruded, and a reagent supplier for supplying a predetermined reagent into the needle-shaped tube member. Additionally, recessed portions extending axially are formed in an outer circumferential surface of the tubular member in such a manner that the cross sectional shape perpendicular to the axial direction of the tubular member is a shape in which at least a portion of the outer circumference of an annular shape has been recessed radially inward.
