Publication number: 20240108379Abstract: Provided is a medical device capable of easily changing a position of the device inside a biological lumen and effectively removing a cut object. The medical device for removing the object in the biological lumen has a drive shaft, a cutting portion, a first housing that accommodates the drive shaft to be rotatable, a second housing that is rotatable with respect to the first housing, and a support portion that supports the first housing and the second housing. The second housing and the support portion relatively move along an axis to restrict relative rotation of the first housing and the second housing. The support portion supports the second housing to be rotatable around the axis.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Applicant: TERUMO KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Mizuho SHIRAISHI, Yuichi TADA, Akihiro TAKAHASHI

Patent number: 11812989Abstract: A medical device for removing an object in a body lumen includes a catheter and a drive device. The drive device includes a hub support portion with which a hub portion of the catheter is interlocked. The hub portion has first and second engagement portions interlocked with the hub support portion. The hub support portion includes a rotation blocking portion that is engaged with the first engagement portion to block the hub portion from rotating with respect to the hub support portion, a movement blocking portion that is engaged with the second engagement portion to block movement of the hub portion with respect to the hub support portion in an axial direction, and a releasing portion that releases a state in which a rotation of the hub portion is blocked while maintaining a state in which movement of the hub portion is blocked.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2020Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: TERUMO KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Mizuho Shiraishi, Akihiro Takahashi
