Abstract: To provide a display apparatus including a display part which displays an image of a virtual space, and a transmitting part. The display part further displays state information relating to a state of a reality space where an operator of the display part is present, and the transmitting part transmits, to control equipment which controls the state of the reality space, control information for controlling the state of the reality space. The display apparatus may further include a sensing part. The display part may further display a virtual input image in the virtual space. The transmitting part may transmit, when input to the virtual input image is sensed with the sensing part, the control information to the control equipment.

Abstract: It is an object to provide a filter for thrombus capture catheters with a thin wall and a sufficient strength and a method of producing the same. A filter for thrombus capture catheters is produced by a method comprising the steps of: arranging a plurality of wires so as to run helically and cross each other, thereby forming a cross wire assembly 2 with a spindle-shaped configuration, which is expanded at a middle portion 2C and converged at distal portion 2A and proximal portion 2B; and forming a parachute canopy-shaped filtering section 3 on one side of said cross wire assembly corresponding to approximately half of the spindle-shaped configuration by the dip coating method using a filter material.

Abstract: A sheath unit for recovering a thrombus capture member, in which the thrombus capture member can be accommodated without leakage of a thrombus, and which can be more smoothly passed through a lesion, and a thrombus capture catheter unit for capturing the freed thrombus are provided. The sheath unit for recovering a thrombus capture member includes a sheath having a flexible tube at its tip, a portion of the flexible tube being reduced in diameter. A thrombus capture catheter unit includes the sheath unit for recovering the thrombus capture member and a thrombus capture member. The thrombus capture member which is expanded is accommodated into the sheath and a crossed wire member and a portion of a filter part constituting the thrombus capture member are accommodated in the flexible tube, thereby diameter-reducing an opening part of the filter part.

Abstract: A thrombus suction catheter which is a tube having a distal end opening formed by an angled cut surface. In the distal end opening, at least a part on the proximal end side of the cut surface is formed in a concave shape in an angled direction, and the distal end side of the cut surface is formed to be flat and flexible. With the distal end configuration, suction and crossing are significantly improved.

Abstract: A thrombus capture catheter comprises a sheath 1 with a lumen 11 passing therethrough and being closed at a proximal end thereof, a flexible shaft 2 inserted in the lumen 11 of the sheath 1, and a thrombus capture member 3. The thrombus capture member 3 includes a crossed wire member 31 and a filter 32. The crossed wire member 31 comprises plural wires spirally configured and crossed with one another to form a configuration swollen in middle portion and tapered to proximal and distal ends thereof from a swollen middle portion thereof. The crossed wire member 31 is mounted slidably at a distal end thereof on the shaft 2 and fixed at the proximal end thereof to the shaft 2. The crossed wire member 31 is inserted into the sheath 1 and held therein in a constricted condition.
