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.

Abstract: A body of an electric vehicle may include: a floor panel; a pair of rockers extending along both side edges of the floor panel, respectively; an indoor floor crossmember protruding upward from the floor panel and connecting the rockers to each other; an outdoor floor crossmember protruding downward from the floor panel, connecting the rockers to each other, and located rearward of the indoor floor crossmember; and a battery case located below the floor panel and housing a battery configured to supply power to a traction motor. The battery case may extend from a position located frontward of the indoor floor crossmember to a position that is located rearward of the indoor floor crossmember and frontward of the outdoor floor crossmember.

Abstract: A body of a vehicle may include: a floor panel including a panel consisting of a single plate; a pair of rockers extending along both of side edges of the floor panel, respectively; an indoor floor crossmember protruding upward from the floor panel and connecting the rockers to each other; an outdoor floor crossmember protruding downward from the floor panel, connecting the rockers to each other, and located rearward of the indoor floor crossmember; and a unit component located below the floor panel. The unit component may extend from a position located frontward of the indoor floor crossmember to a position that is located rearward of the indoor floor crossmember and frontward of the outdoor floor crossmember. A portion of the floor panel that is within a range surrounded by the pair of rockers, the indoor crossmember, and the outdoor crossmember may consist of the panel.

Abstract: A catheter including a tubular body, in which the tubular body includes a based portion and a shaped portion, the shaped portion includes a first bending portion, a first intermediate portion that is located on a distal side relative to the first bending portion, a second bending portion that is bent at a distal side relative to the first intermediate portion, a second intermediate portion that is located on a distal side relative to the second bending portion, a third bending portion that is bent at a distal side relative to the second intermediate portion, and a distal end portion that is located on a distal side relative to the third bending portion, the first bending portion and the first intermediate portion are located on a first plane, and the second bending portion and the second intermediate portion are located on a second plane different from the first plane.

Abstract: A medical elongated body and a medical elongated body set are constructed in a way that expedites medical instrument insertion into a tubular body lumen via a valve body. The medical elongated body includes a tubular body insertable into a body lumen, a hub having an internal space communicating with a lumen of the tubular body and disposed in a proximal portion of the tubular body, a valve body disposed in the internal space and having an insertion portion, and a cap member that fixes the valve body in the internal space by being attached to the valve body and has a proximal opening portion to communicate with the internal space via the insertion portion. The cap member has a marker portion that guides a medical instrument inserted into the tubular body to the valve body. The marker portion has a color distinguishable from a periphery of the marker 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 hemostatic device includes a covering member configured to cover a site where bleeding is to be stopped on a hand of a patient, a securing member configured to secure the covering member to the hand, an inflatable member connected to the covering member and inflatable by a fluid, and an auxiliary member having a smaller outer shape than the inflatable member. The covering member includes a body, a first arm protruding from a first side of the body, and a second arm protruding from a second side facing the first side. The body includes a first end portion located on a distal side of the body and a second end portion located on a proximal side thereof. The inflatable member is connected to the second end portion, and the auxiliary member is connected to the first end portion and is interposed between the body and the inflatable member.

Abstract: A hemostatic device includes a covering member having a main body connected to an inflatable member, a first arm portion extending from the main body, and a second arm portion extending from the main body in a direction different from a longitudinal direction of extent of the first arm portion. The first arm portion is configured to be secured to the second arm portion by virtue of a part of the first arm portion passing between fingers of a patient while the second arm portion is wrapped around a limb of the patient. The second arm portion has a belt portion for wrapping around the patient's limb and a support portion connecting the main body and the belt portion and located on a straight line connecting the first arm portion and the inflatable member. The belt portion is securable to the support portion while wrapped around the patient's limb.
