Patent number: 8313826Abstract: By coating a base material with a film of a fluoropolymer such as PTFE, the coefficient of friction of the base material is lowered and the slipperiness of the base material is thus improved. Thus, it is intended to provide a medical instrument, for example, a guide wire for introducing a catheter. A medical instrument which has, on at least a part of a base material, a hydrophilic polymer film and a fluoropolymer film located as the upper layer thereof.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2006Date of Patent: November 20, 2012Assignee: Termo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Satoru Iwamori, Hiraku Murayama

Patent number: 8303875Abstract: A method for producing a vinylidene fluoride resin film having excellent transparency, weather resistance, chemical resistance, break resistance and formability is provided. The film is shaped by sandwiching a vinylidene fluoride resin in a molten state between rollers or metal belts so as to let them cool down, thus realizing polyvinylidene fluoride with a fine average spherocrystal diameter. Thus, the vinylidene fluoride resin film having the above-stated properties can be obtained.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2008Date of Patent: November 6, 2012Assignee: Kaneka CorporationInventors: Kazuhito Wada, Yukihiro Shimamoto
