2. Description of the Related Art In peritoneal dialysis therapy, infusion and drainage of dialysate are performed by an intraperitoneal indwelling catheter indwelled in the abdominal cavity and a dialysate exchange system connected to the catheter. In this intraperitoneal indwelling catheter, when the catheter is implanted into a patient, so-called down growth occurs in which the living tissue recognizes the foreign body of the catheter and the living tissue does not adhere to the catheter, so that the epidermis enters inside along the catheter. However, when the depth becomes deeper, disinfection is inadequate, and a bacterial infection route is formed, which causes a problem of causing skin inflammation and eventually peritonitis. Therefore, an infection-preventing cuff member made of a material having excellent biocompatibility is further provided on the outer edge of the catheter, the cuff member is positioned under the epidermis, and the living tissue is allowed to grow in the cuff member. There has been proposed a technique in which the living tissue near the part is concentrated around the catheter to suppress the progress of downgrowth (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-206193). However, in the intraperitoneal indwelling catheter, when the density of the cuff member is low, the cuff member is placed in a subcutaneous tunnel, and then absorbs a liquid such as blood, body fluid, or physiological saline, and the volume of the cuff member decreases. However, the living tissue in the vicinity of the percutaneous portion of the catheter cannot be sufficiently concentrated around the catheter, and it may be difficult to suppress the progress of downgrowth.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION A collagen porous material constituting a cuff member can be produced, for example, by the following method. That is, the collagen solution is mixed with a balanced salt solution such as a phosphate buffer, and incubated at 37 ° C. for about 4 hours to fibrillate the collagen.
On the other hand, the collagen solution is heated to be denatured by heat and denatured. In this case, the thermal denaturation of collagen
Since it occurs around 37 ° C., it is thermally denatured in the range of 40 to 100 ° C., preferably 60 to 80 ° C.
A suitable heat denaturation treatment is at 60 ° C. for 30 minutes. The fibrous collagen solution thus obtained and the denatured collagen solution are mixed, freeze-dried in a tubular container, and then subjected to thermal dehydration crosslinking to obtain a cuff member 5 composed of a collagen porous material. Can be Crosslinking by thermal dehydration
The degree of crosslinking is preferably 50% or more, more preferably 60 to 80%. If it is less than 50%, the shape may not be maintained during subcutaneous tunneling of the catheter, and if the degree of crosslinking is too strong, collagen may be extremely denatured. Further, the density of the cuff member 5 is preferably 0.05 g / cm 3 or more, and more preferably 0.06 to 0.09 g / cm 3 . The total length of the cuff member 5 is about 3.0 to 50 mm, preferably 5.0.
It is preferably about 50 mm. The total length of the cuff member 5 is 3.0 mm
If it is less than the above, it is difficult to concentrate the living tissue around the catheter body, it is difficult to maintain the downgrowth appropriately, and if the total length is 50 mm or more, the external cuff 7
It is necessary to change the position where the camera is installed. In addition, as long as one end of the cuff member 5 is located in the vicinity of the percutaneous portion of the catheter, the other end may be located at any length between the positions where the external cuff is installed. A plurality of devices having a size of about 0 to 25 mm may be provided adjacent to each other, or may be provided in a line at predetermined intervals. The thickness of the cuff portion 5 is about 1.0 to 4.0 mm, preferably 1.5 to 4.0 mm.
It is about 2.5 mm. When the wall thickness is 1.0 mm or less, it is difficult to densely lay the living tissue around the catheter body, and it is difficult to appropriately maintain downgrowth. The injuries to the abdominal wall when placing the incision may increase, and it may take time to heal the wound. In the present invention, the volume change rate is defined as in the following equation. Volume change rate (%) = cuff volume after immersion in physiological saline / cuff volume before immersion in physiological saline × 100 The wet state refers to a state in which the cuff member is immersed in a sufficient amount of physiological saline to be immersed. The measurement of the cuff volume after immersion in the saline solution is performed 8 hours after the volume change reaches a steady state. The measurement of the cuff volume before immersion in a physiological saline solution is performed in a substantially dry state. The cuff member of the present invention has a maximum volume change rate in a wet state of 100% or more, preferably 100 to 300%.
%. When the cuff member is fixed subcutaneously to the peritoneum, the volume decrease is small and the cuff member and the peritoneal subcutaneous tissue come into close contact with each other, and the living tissue around the catheter can be sufficiently concentrated around the catheter. In particular, since the cuff member is provided on the extension side of the subcutaneous tunnel of the intraperitoneal indwelling catheter, the cuff member is located under the epidermis and the living tissue near the percutaneous portion of the catheter is concentrated around the catheter. Therefore, downgrowth can be prevented from becoming deep.

[Table 2] (Example 6) Using the collagen solution having a concentration of 8.0 w / v% obtained in Example 3, a total length of 10 mm, an inner diameter of 4.3 mm,
Using a cuff member made of a collagen porous tubular body having a thickness of 2.0 mm and the collagen solution having a concentration of 4.0 w / v% obtained in Example 2, the volume was reduced by compression to a total length of 10 m.
A cuff member made of a collagen porous tubular body having a diameter of 4.3 m and an inner diameter of 4.3 mm and a wall thickness of 2.0 mm and a collagen solution having a concentration of 4.0 w / v% were used. An evaluation experiment was carried out using a silicone tube provided with a cuff member made of a 3 mm, 2.0 mm thick collagen porous tubular body and a silicone tube not provided with a cuff member. A scalpel was placed in the back of the rat, and a silicone tube with a cuff member and a silicone tube without a cuff member were implanted subcutaneously. After 2, 4, and 12 weeks, tissues around the tube were evaluated. Two weeks after the tube was implanted, a high inflammatory reaction was observed at the tube interface where the cuff member was not installed. Although the inflammatory reaction was suppressed at the tube interface where the cuff member was installed compared to the tube interface where the cuff member was not installed, the volume was reduced by compression using a collagen solution having a concentration of 4.0 w / v%. A relatively high inflammatory response was seen for the unfilled cuff members. Regarding the cuff member using a collagen solution having a concentration of 8.0 w / v% and the cuff member using a collagen solution having a concentration of 4.0 w / v% and reducing the volume by compression, the inflammatory reaction was low and even after 2 weeks. It remained low. By installing the cuff member, after 2 weeks, the cuff member itself has been replaced by a well-folded thick collagen bundle and a dermis-like tissue consisting of fibroblasts and capillaries that have penetrated into the gap, and a concentration of 8%. The dermis-like tissue also increased when the density was improved by using a collagen solution at a concentration of 4.0 w / v% or reducing the volume by compression using a collagen solution having a concentration of 4.0 w / v%.

As described above, the cuff member of the present invention is infiltrated by fibroblasts, generates its own collagen, and is replaced by living tissue. Thereby, the living tissue around the catheter can be sufficiently densely packed around the catheter. In particular, since the cuff member is located under the epidermis and the living tissue near the percutaneous portion of the catheter can be concentrated around the catheter, it is possible to prevent downgrowth from becoming deep. In addition, fibroblasts infiltrate the cuff member mainly composed of collagen, and self-collagen is generated and can be replaced with living tissue. Further, it is possible to achieve the concentration of the living tissue on the catheter body earlier. The cuff member according to the present invention is further characterized in that the cuff member is movable in the axial direction along the outer periphery of the catheter body and can be introduced and installed at an arbitrary position in the subcutaneous tunnel portion. Thus, when the catheter is punctured in the subcutaneous tunnel, it is possible to attach the cuff member and to install the cuff member at an arbitrary position in the catheter intermediate portion extension side body. The cuff member of the present invention, in the case of indwelling catheter indwelling abdominal cavity,
When the catheter with the cuff member is passed through the subcutaneous tunnel, the operation can be performed with less resistance.
