  • Publication number: 20230355291
    Abstract: This treatment portion of a medical energy device treats a biological tissue by transferring energy to the biological tissue, in a state where the treatment portion is in contact with the biological tissue. The treatment portion of the medical energy device includes a main body portion and a covering film. The main body portion transfers energy to the biological tissue. The covering film contains silicone as a main component, and covers the surface of the main body portion. The silicone includes at least a D unit and a T unit. In the silicone, the molar ratio of silicon atoms forming the D unit with respect to all the silicon atoms is 40-99%. In the silicone, the molar ratio of methyl functional groups bonded to the silicon atoms with respect to all functional groups bonded to the silicon atoms is at least 60%.

  • Patent number: 11123525
    Abstract: A wire for a medical device includes a wire body and a solid lubrication film. The wire body has an outer circumferential layer formed of a plurality of metal strands that are twisted with each other. The solid lubrication film is formed at least on outside exposed surfaces of the plurality of metal strands. When a virtual circle as a smallest circle enclosing the outer circumferential layer is assumed in a cross section perpendicular to a central axis of the wire body, a part of an outer edge of the solid lubrication film of the cross section is inside the virtual circle and a cross-sectional area of the solid lubrication film in the cross section satisfies A/B>0.7 where A is a size of a portion outside the virtual circle and B is a size of a portion inside the virtual circle.
