Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2022/091784
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a catheter which comprises an expandable body that has both expandability and space occupancy. A catheter according to the present invention comprises a hollow shaft and a tube-like expandable body. The expandable body is formed such that it can be expanded and contracted in the radial direction of the catheter by a plurality of wires which are connected to the extreme end of the shaft. The plurality of wires, which constitute the expandable body, include high-rigidity wires and low-rigidity wires. The bending rigidity of the low-rigidity wires in the radial direction of the expandable body is lower than that of the high-rigidity wires. Thus, it is possible for the expandable body to have both expandability and space occupancy.
