PERCUTANEOUS CATHETER, AND METHOD FOR USING PERCUTANEOUS CATHETER

摘要

[Problem] To provide: a percutaneous catheter which makes it possible to improve the blood flow in the lower limb that comes into contact with the base end side of the percutaneous catheter; and a method for using a percutaneous catheter. [Solution] The catheter 30 is provided with a rumen 30A through which blood flows, and is also provided with a catheter tube 31 which includes a tubular reinforcing body 320 composed of a plurality of wires W that are woven in a net-like form and a resin layer 330 arranged so as to cover the reinforcing body 320, and a side hole 40 which is formed at a tip end of the catheter tube 31 and can make the outsides of the rumen 30A and the catheter tube 31 to communicate with each other, in which the side hole 40 can allow the blood flowing in the rumen 30A to flow out toward a direction orthogonal to the axis direction of the catheter tube 31 when the catheter tube 31 is placed in a living body.
