【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は例えばPTCA(経皮的冠動脈形成術)等で使用されるバルーンカテーテルのガイドワイヤー誘導ルーメンの改良に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術及び発明が解決しようとする課題】
バルーンカテーテルを血管内に挿入し、ガイドワイヤー誘導ルーメンにガイドワイヤー(GW)を挿入する。
前記バルーンカテーテルを血管狭窄部にスムーズに配置する為に、バルーンの外周に親水性のポリマーをコーティングしたり、またGWの動きを良くする為にガイドワイヤー誘導ルーメンの内周面に滑りを良くする為の電解処置を施していた。
前記バルーンカテーテルのバルーンを血管内の狭窄部に配置し、バルーンを拡張させ狭窄部を拡張する。従来ガイドワイヤー誘導ルーメンの外周は前記バルーンを拡張する流体圧力に押圧されるのでこれに耐えうる硬い材質として、例えばポリアミド系やポリオレフィン系やポリイミド系の材質で形成されていた。
しかし前記のような硬い材質では、前記で述べたように、バルーンの配置やガイドワイヤーの動きをスムーズに行う為のコーティングが押圧力で勢いあまって滑ってしまい血管の狭窄部の位置からずれてしまうことが懸念される。
そこで本発明者は以上の課題を解決する為に鋭意検討を重ねた結果次の発明に達した。
【0003】
【課題を解決するための手段】

前記ガイドワイヤーチューブ(2GT)は、前記ガイドワイヤー誘導ルーメン(2)の先端開口部(2OF)から前記後端開口部(2OB)の近傍にわたって、連続して略同一径に形成し、
前記ガイドワイヤーチューブ(2GT)の前記前方部(2TF)は、前記後方部(2TB)よりも弾性力が強く且つ復元力が高い材質で形成し、当該後方部(2TB)は前記前方部(2TF)よりも硬い材質で形成し、
前記ガイドワイヤーチューブ(2GT)の前記前方部(2TF)と前記後方部(2TB)とを、前記近位側接着部(4a)近傍で接続し、
前記ガイドワイヤーチューブ(2GT)の前方部(2TF)を、前記近位側接着部(4a)と前記遠位側接着部(4b)との間に配置し、前記バルーン(4)の近位端から当該バルーン(4)の内部を経て当該バルーン(4)の遠位端まで延設して、当該バルーン(4)の内部全域にわたって形成し、
前記ガイドワイヤーチューブ(2GT)の遠位端側と、前記バルーン(4)の遠位端側との接着部(4b)より、さらに遠位端側に、前記前方部(2TF)の遠位端側の先端部(7)を突設し、当該先端部(7)を前記後方部(2TB)と同様に前記前方部(2TF)よりも硬い材質で形成したバルーンカテーテル(1)を提供する。
[2]本発明は、前記ガイドワイヤーチューブ(2GT)の前方部(2TF)はポリウレタン系の材質で形成し、前記後方部(2TB)はポリアミド系またはポリオレフィン系またはポリイミド系の中から選ばれる材質で形成した[1]に記載のバルーンカテーテル(1)を提供する。
【0004】
【発明の実施の形態】
図1は本発明のバルーンカテーテル1の断面図である。
前記バルーンカテーテル(以後「カテーテル」と略記する)1は、チューブ3と、ガイドワイヤーGWを挿入するガイドワイヤーチューブ2GTと、バルーン4とを有する。
チューブ3と、ガイドワイヤーチューブ2GTと、バルーン4とは、それぞれ長手方向と、当該長手方向と略垂直に交わる側部方向とを有する。チューブ3と、ガイドワイヤーチューブ2GTと、バルーン4とは、それぞれ長手方向の前方側に遠位端を有し、かつ長手方向の後方側に近位端を有する。
チューブ3の遠位端側とバルーン4の近位端側とを、近位側接着部4aを介して装着し、バルーン4の遠位端側とガイドワイヤーチューブ2GTの遠位端側とを、遠位側接着部4bを介して装着している。
チューブ3遠位側内腔に、ガイドワイヤーチューブ2GTを配置し、当該ガイドワイヤーチューブ2GTは、内腔にガイドワイヤー誘導ルーメン2を有する。
ガイドワイヤー誘導ルーメン2は、先端開口部2OFと、後端開口部2OBとを有し、先端開口部2OFは、バルーン4の内腔を経て前記バルーン4の遠位端に配置され、後端開口部2OBは、チューブ3遠位側内腔を経て当該チューブ3遠位側寄りの側部に配置されている。
ガイドワイヤーチューブ2GTは、遠位端側の前方部2TFと、近位端側の後方部2TBとを有し、ガイドワイヤーチューブ2GTは、ガイドワイヤー誘導ルーメン2先端開口部2OFから後端開口部2OBの近傍にわたって、連続して略同一径に形成している。
ガイドワイヤーチューブ2GTの前方部2TFは、後方部2TBよりも弾性力が強く且つ復元力が高い材質で形成し、後方部2TBは前方部2TFよりも硬い材質で形成している。
ガイドワイヤーチューブ2GTの前方部2TFと後方部2TBとを、近位側接着部4a近傍で接続部5を介して接続し、ガイドワイヤーチューブ2GTの前方部2TFを、近位側接着部4aと遠位側接着部4bとの間に配置している。
換言すれば、ガイドワイヤーチューブ2GTの前記前方部2TFは、バルーン4の遠位端側から近位端側に亘って形成している。
【0005】
前記ガイドワイヤーチューブ2GTの前方部2TFを後方部2Bより弾性力が強く且つ復元力が強い材質を接続することで、「バルーン4を拡張する流体圧力とガイドワイヤーGWのグリップ効果」により、バルーン4の滑りによる狭窄部からの位置ずれを防止することができる。
前記「バルーン4を拡張する流体圧力とガイドワイヤーGWのグリップ効果」とは具体的に、ガイドワイヤーGWを挿入したカテーテル1のバルーン4を血管内の狭窄部で拡張した時、ガイドワイヤーチューブ2GTの前方部2TFは弾力性があり、バルーン4を拡張する流体圧力とガイドワイヤーGWにより外周からの押圧力が適宜吸収、緩和されるのでこれらの押圧力により、従来のように勢いあまって血管の狭窄部の位置からすべることを防止することができ、前方部2TFを適度に滑らないように挟持することができる。
従ってバルーン4の位置がずれることなく血管壁の狭窄部に安定して固定することができる。
さらに前記挟持された前方部2TFに高い復元力を兼ねることで、拡張したバルーンを減圧してバルーンを移動させる時、前記前方部2TFが元の形状に戻るのでガイドワイヤーGWの動きがスムーズになる。
【0006】
前方部2TFは例えばポリウレタン系の材質(一例としてポリウレタンエーテルウレア等)、またこれと同等の弾力性があり且つ復元力が高い材質を使用することができる。
前記後方部2Bは例えばポリアミド系またはポリオレフィン系またはポリイミド系等の中から選ばれる硬い材質、またこれらと同等の硬い材質を使用することができる。
バルーンカテーテル1の先端の動きを誘導しやすくする為に、ガイドワイヤーチューブ2GTの遠位端側と、バルーン4の遠位端側との遠位側接着部4bより、さらに遠位端側に、前方部2TFの遠位端側の先端部7を突設し、当該先端部7を前記後方部2TBと同様に前方部2TFよりも硬い材質で形成している。
ガイドワイヤーチューブ2GTの前方部2TFと後方部2との接続、遠位チューブ3の先端から近位側接着部4aの間、または近位側接続部4aから後端開口部(ガイドワイヤー挿入口)2OBの間で行ってもよいが、より好ましくは近位側接着部4a後端またはこの前後で接続するのが望ましい。換言すればガイドワイヤーチューブ2GTの前方部2TFと後方部2TBとを、近位側接着部4a近傍で接続部5を介して接続するのが好ましい。
なお前記接続部5をバルーン4内に形成すると、前方部2FTの材質による弾性力並びに復元力の効果が薄れるので好ましくない。
【0008】
【発明の作用効果】
本発明のバルーンカテーテル1に装着したガイドワイヤーチューブ2GT(ガイドワイヤー誘導ルーメン2を前方部2TFと後方部2Bより形成し、前記前方部2TFは後方部2Bより弾性力が強く且つ復元力の高い材質を用いることで、バルーンを拡張する際の流体の圧力とガイドワイヤーGWにより前方部2FTを挟持する「バルーン4を拡張する流体圧力とガイドワイヤーGWのグリップ効果」を高めることができバルーンの拡張位置のずれをなくすとともに、バルーンを減圧した後前方部2TFの形状が復元しガイドワイヤーGWの操作性をスムーズにすることができる。

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a balloon catheter 1 of the present invention.
The balloon catheter (hereinafter abbreviated as “catheter”) 1 includes a tube 3 , a guide wire tube 2 GT into which a guide wire GW is inserted, and a balloon 4.
The tube 3 , the guide wire tube 2GT, and the balloon 4 each have a longitudinal direction and a side direction that intersects the longitudinal direction substantially perpendicularly. The tube 3 , the guide wire tube 2GT, and the balloon 4 each have a distal end on the front side in the longitudinal direction and a proximal end on the rear side in the longitudinal direction.
The distal end side of the tube 3 and the proximal end side of the balloon 4 are attached via the proximal side adhesive portion 4a, and the distal end side of the balloon 4 and the distal end side of the guide wire tube 2GT are attached. It is mounted via the distal adhesive portion 4b.
A guide wire tube 2GT is disposed in the distal lumen of the tube 3 , and the guide wire tube 2GT has a guide wire guide lumen 2 in the lumen.
The guide wire guide lumen 2 has a front end opening 2OF and a rear end opening 2OB. The front end opening 2OF is disposed at the distal end of the balloon 4 through the lumen of the balloon 4, and the rear end opening is opened. part 2OB is located on the side of the distal side of the said tube 3 through the distal lumen of the tube 3.
The guide wire tube 2GT has a front portion 2TF on the distal end side and a rear portion 2TB on the proximal end side, and the guide wire tube 2GT extends from the guide wire guide lumen 2 tip opening portion 2OF to the rear end opening portion 2OB. Are continuously formed to have substantially the same diameter over the vicinity.
The front part 2TF of the guide wire tube 2GT is made of a material having a stronger elastic force and a higher restoring force than the rear part 2TB, and the rear part 2TB is made of a material harder than the front part 2TF.
The front portion 2TF and the rear portion 2TB of the guide wire tube 2GT are connected via the connecting portion 5 in the vicinity of the proximal side adhesive portion 4a, and the front portion 2TF of the guide wire tube 2GT is connected to the proximal side adhesive portion 4a. It arrange | positions between the position side adhesion parts 4b.
In other words, the front portion 2TF of the guide wire tube 2GT is formed from the distal end side to the proximal end side of the balloon 4.
[0005]
The guide wire forward section 2 TF tube 2GT by elastic force from the rear portion 2 T B is strong and restoring force to connect a stronger material, by "gripping effect of the fluid pressure and the guidewire GW to expand the balloon 4 ' In addition, it is possible to prevent displacement from the constriction due to the sliding of the balloon 4.
Specifically, the “fluid pressure to expand the balloon 4 and the grip effect of the guide wire GW” specifically means that when the balloon 4 of the catheter 1 into which the guide wire GW has been inserted is expanded at the narrowed portion in the blood vessel, the guide wire tube 2GT The front portion 2TF is elastic, and the fluid pressure for expanding the balloon 4 and the pressing force from the outer periphery are appropriately absorbed and relaxed by the guide wire GW. it is possible to prevent the slip from the position of the stenosis, it can be clamped so as not slide in moderate front portion 2 TF.
Accordingly, the balloon 4 can be stably fixed to the narrowed portion of the blood vessel wall without being displaced.
Furthermore, when the expanded balloon 4 is depressurized and the balloon 4 is moved by combining the sandwiched front part 2TF with a high restoring force, the front part 2TF returns to its original shape, so that the movement of the guide wire GW Becomes smooth.
