Publication number: 20250009418Abstract: To provide a catheter capable of improving convenience. A catheter (electrode catheter 1) according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a catheter shaft 11 extending along an axial direction (Z-axis direction) and having a near-distal end structure 6 including a plurality of electrodes 111, and a handle 12 mounted on a proximal end side of the catheter shaft 11. The handle 12 includes a handle body 121 extending along the axial direction and a slide mechanism 123 configured to be slidable along the axial direction in the handle body 121 and operated during a deformation operation in which the shape of the near-distal end structure 6 is changed between a first shape and a second shape. The first shape is a non-deployed shape in which the near-distal end structure 6 is not deployed along the axial direction, and the second shape is a deployed shape in which the near-distal end structure 6 is deployed from the non-deployed shape along the axial direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2021Publication date: January 9, 2025Inventors: Kohei SAKAKI, Takafumi WATANABE

Publication number: 20240277405Abstract: An electrode catheter includes a catheter shaft and an electrode assembly and a distal-side bundling component disposed at least partially distal to the catheter shaft. The electrode assembly includes a plurality of spline portions each having a proximal end portion bundled by the catheter shaft and a distal end portion bundled by the distal-side bundling component. The plurality of spline portions includes, when viewed from a distal side in an axial direction of the catheter shaft, a counterclockwise spline portion extending counterclockwise from a side of the distal end portion toward a side of the proximal end portion and a clockwise spline portion extending clockwise from the side of the distal end portion side toward the side of the proximal end portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2023Publication date: August 22, 2024Inventors: Kohei SAKAKI, Makoto KATO, Ryo ISHIDA

Publication number: 20240081900Abstract: A catheter includes an elongated body, a distal end side of which is inserted into a body, and an electrode provided around an axis of the elongated body and expandable in a direction intersecting the axis. The electrode in an expanded state includes an intermediate portion at least partially including a portion in which element wires spread like a mesh, a proximal end portion located closer to a proximal end side of the elongated body than the intermediate portion and in which the element wires gather, and a distal end portion located closer to the distal end side than the intermediate portion and in which the element wires gather. The intermediate portion includes a maximum portion where an outer dimension of the electrode is maximized. The maximum portion is located closer to the proximal end side than a center of the electrode in an axial direction of the elongated body.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 21, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Kohei SAKAKI, Makoto KATO, Ryo ISHIDA

Publication number: 20230404661Abstract: A catheter according to an embodiment of the disclosure includes a catheter shaft extending in an axial direction and having a near-distal end structure including a plurality of electrodes, and a handle mounted on a proximal end side of the catheter shaft. The handle includes a handle body extending in the axial direction, and an operation mechanism configured to be rotatable with respect to the handle body about a rotation axis extending along the axial direction. The operation mechanism is rotationally operated when the near-distal end structure is rotationally operated about the rotation axis while a length of the near-distal end structure in the axial direction is fixed.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 10, 2023Publication date: December 21, 2023Inventor: Kohei SAKAKI

Publication number: 20230310070Abstract: Provided is a catheter in which a spline changes its shape into an intended shape. A catheter includes a shaft to be inserted into the body, a plurality of splines connected to the distal end side of the shaft, and a distal end member connected to the distal end side of the splines. The plurality of splines include a first spline and a second spline. The first spline and the second spline are located adjacent to each other and their motions are restrained by a first restraining member.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2023Publication date: October 5, 2023Inventors: Kohei SAKAKI, Makoto KATO, Ryo ISHIDA

Publication number: 20220304748Abstract: A catheter device is to be applied to a catheter and includes a tube member and a second handle. The tube member is configured to be inserted through a lumen provided in a catheter shaft of the catheter. The second handle is provided on a base end of the tube member, and includes a deformation operating member. The second handle is provided separately from a first handle provided on a base end of the catheter shaft. Upon bending deformation of a region in the vicinity of a tip end of the tube member in response to an operation of the deformation operating member, the tube member is configured to be pressed against a wall surface of the lumen of the catheter shaft to displace a region in the vicinity of a tip end of the catheter shaft. The second handle is configured to be integrated with the first handle.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2022Publication date: September 29, 2022Inventor: Kohei SAKAKI

Publication number: 20220304625Abstract: A catheter device is to be applied to a catheter and includes a tube member and a handle. The tube member is configured to be inserted through a lumen provided in a catheter shaft of the catheter. The handle is provided on a base end of the tube member, and includes a deformation operating member configured to receive an operation that causes a region in the vicinity of a tip end of the tube member to be subjected to bending deformation. Upon the bending deformation of the region in the vicinity of the tip end of the tube member in response to the operation of the deformation operating member, the tube member to be subjected to the bending deformation is configured to be pressed against a wall surface of the lumen of the catheter shaft to displace a region in the vicinity of a tip end of the catheter shaft.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2022Publication date: September 29, 2022Inventor: Kohei SAKAKI
