Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable long-period use, and also to maintain the flexibility of a tube in a good condition by providing hydroxyapatite powder on the wall surface of the tube consisting of polymeric materials, so that when the tube is inserted into the body, thrombosis can be hardly caused. CONSTITUTION:At least on the wall surface of a tube consisting of polymeric materials, hydroxyapatite powder is provided. Thereby the hydroxyapatite powder having a high antithromobotic property is dispersed at least on the wall surface of the tube, and since a part of particles is exposed on the surface, thrombosis is hardly caused. Further, since the hydroxyapatited is dispersed on the tube wall in a powder state, the flexibility of ther tube can be maintained in a good condition.

Description

【発明の詳細な説明】 〔産業上の利用分野〕 この発明は、血液チューブ、カテーテルや人工血管等の
抗血液凝固性を必要とする医療用チューブに関する。
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to medical tubes that require anticoagulability, such as blood tubes, catheters, and artificial blood vessels.

〔従来の技術〕[Conventional technology]

Catheter tubes, artificial blood vessels, and the like are recognized as foreign objects when inserted into the body, and can cause thrombus formation. For this reason, polymer materials that are said to have good biocompatibility, such as fluororesin, polyurethane, and polyethylene, are mainly used as materials for the tubes (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 63
-139567, JP-A-63-305860, JP-A-63-252169, etc.).

Although the above-mentioned polymer materials have excellent antithrombotic properties compared to other materials, thrombus occurs when used for a long period of time, and the antithrombotic properties are still not sufficient.

Therefore, as disclosed in JP-A-63-160845, it is conceivable to form the tube with ceramics that have extremely high affinity with living organisms, but in this case, it would take a lot of effort to make it into a tube shape. Moreover, the resulting product had no flexibility at all, so it could only be used in very limited cases.

In view of the problems of the prior art, an object of the present invention is to provide a medical tube that is flexible and has high antithrombotic properties.

In the medical tube according to the present invention, hydroxyapatite powder with high antithrombotic properties is dispersed on at least the surface portion of the tube wall, and a portion of the particles are exposed on the surface, making it difficult for thrombus to form. Moreover, since hydroxyapatite is dispersed in the tube wall in a powder state, the flexibility of the tube is maintained well.

parts by weight, and after sufficiently kneading this with a twin-screw extruder,
A medical tube according to the present invention was obtained by extrusion molding into a tube having an inner diameter of 2.5 mm using a conventional single-screw extruder, and having hydroxyapatite uniformly dispersed in the tube wall.

Next, we investigated the antithrombotic properties of the above medical tube and the FEP tube that does not contain hydroxyapatite, and found that the medical tube of the present invention containing hydroxyapatite powder was less likely to cause blood clots than the tube that did not contain it. It was confirmed that this is unlikely to occur.

In the above example, the case where PEP was used as the duplex material was explained, but the invention is of course not limited to this, and other polymeric materials commonly used as medical tube materials such as fluororesin or polyurethane may also be used. It can also be applied to In addition, when using tetrafluoroethylene resin, the molding method is different from general heat-melting resins, and it can be mixed in at high concentrations, so
A product with extremely high antithrombotic properties can be obtained.

Furthermore, since the hydroxyapatite powder only needs to be exposed at least on the surface of the tube wall that comes into contact with blood, it is not necessarily necessary to uniformly disperse the hydroxyapatite powder over the entire tube wall as in the example. It may have a two-layer structure consisting of a layer and a resin layer that does not contain the layer. In this case, since the amount of the compound can be reduced, the flexibility of the tube becomes higher than that when the compound is dispersed throughout the tube wall. The amount of hydroxyapatite powder to be blended varies depending on the type of polymeric material forming the tube wall and how it is added, but is selected at a turnover of 2 to 80% by weight based on the polymeric material.
