Accordingly, by arranging the markers 30 , it is possible to prevent the strength of the shaft 2 from being lowered due to the inner layer 10 becoming thinner than necessary. In addition, since the difference between the inner diameter D1 of the lumen 5 of the marker placement portion 51 and the outer diameter of the guidewire is small, it is easy to hold (support) the guidewire. In addition, since the marker placement portion 51 is provided only in a portion of the catheter 1 in the axial direction X, the sliding resistance of the catheter 1 as a whole with respect to the guide wire can be reduced.
- Each marker placement portion 51 has, on its inner peripheral surface, a constant inner diameter portion 55 having a substantially constant inner diameter D1, a tip tapered portion 56 having an inner diameter that decreases toward the distal end from the constant inner diameter portion 55, and a constant inner diameter portion. and a proximal tapered portion 57 having an inner diameter that decreases from 55 in the proximal direction. Since each marker placement portion 51 has a distal tapered portion 56 and a proximal tapered portion 57 , it is possible to prevent the guide wire passing through the lumen 5 from getting caught in the marker placement portion 51 .
- the length L of the marker placement portion 51 in the axial direction X is not particularly limited as long as it is longer than the axial length of the marker 30, but is, for example, 0.5 mm or more, preferably 0.7 mm to 3 mm.

- the outer diameter of the catheter is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.70 mm to 0.90 mm, and the difference between the inner diameter D2 of the lumen 5 of the marker-free portion 52 and the inner diameter D1 of the lumen 5 of the marker-placed portion 51 is not particularly limited. is preferably 0.03 mm to 0.06 mm.
- the outer diameter D3 of the marker 30 (the maximum outer diameter when the outer diameter D3 of the marker 30 differs depending on the position) is the outer diameter D4 of the reinforcing body 20 arranged in the adjacent marker absent portion 52 (the outer diameter D4 of the reinforcing body 20 is less than or equal to the maximum outer diameter), preferably less than the outer diameter D4. Accordingly, by arranging the markers 30 , it is possible to prevent the outer layer 40 on the radially outer side of the markers 30 from becoming unnecessarily thin and reducing the strength of the shaft 2 . Furthermore, it is possible to prevent the outer diameter D ⁇ b>6 of the marker-placed portion 51 from becoming larger than the outer diameter D ⁇ b>7 of the marker-absent portion 52 .
- the outer diameter D5 of the small diameter portion 22 of the reinforcing body 20 arranged in the marker placement portion 51 is smaller than the outer diameter D4 of the reinforcing body 20 arranged in the marker absent portion 52 .
- the length of the reinforcing member 20 in the axial direction X is longer than the length of the marker 30 in the axial direction X, when the marker 30 is crimped to reduce its diameter and is placed, the marker 30 pushes the reinforcing member 20 to contract.
- the diameter of the reinforcing body 20 is also reduced at a position away from the marker 30 . Therefore, when the marker 30 is placed, the diameter of the reinforcing body 20 changes smoothly in the vicinity of the marker 30, and the inner peripheral surface of the lumen 5 including the distal tapered portion 56, the constant inner diameter portion 55, and the proximal tapered portion 57 is changed. is formed smoothly. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the guide wire passing through the lumen 5 from being caught in the marker placement portion 51 .
- the base end of the shaft 2 of the hub 3 is liquid-tightly fixed with an adhesive, heat-sealing, or a fastener (not shown).
- the hub 3 functions as an insertion port for a guide wire and medical instruments into the lumen 5, an injection port for a drug solution, an embolic substance, a contrast medium, etc., into the lumen 5, and the like, and also serves as a grip when operating the catheter 1. also functions as
- the material constituting the hub 3 is not particularly limited, but thermoplastic resins such as polycarbonate, polyamide, polysulfone, polyarylate, and methacrylate-butylene-styrene copolymer can be suitably used.
- the anti-kink protector 4 is made of an elastic material that surrounds the circumference of the shaft 2 and suppresses kinking of the shaft 2 at the connecting portion between the shaft 2 and the hub 3 .
- natural rubber, silicone resin, polyester elastomer, polyamide elastomer, polyurethane elastomer, etc. can be suitably used as the constituent material of the kink resistant protector 4 .
- the catheter 1 includes the shaft 2 having the lumen 5 communicating from the distal end to the proximal end. and a radiopaque marker 30 positioned at least one location in the axial direction X of the shaft 2 , the marker 30 being larger in diameter of the shaft 2 than the reinforcement 20 .
- the inner diameter D1 of the lumen 5 of the marker-placed portion 51 of the shaft 2, which is arranged on the direction outer side and in which the marker 30 is arranged, is smaller than the inner diameter D2 of the marker-free portion 52 of the shaft 2, in which the marker 30 is not arranged.
- the outer diameter D6 of the portion 51 is the same or substantially the same as the outer diameter D7 of the marker absent portion 52 . “Substantially the same” means that the outer diameter D6 of the marker-placed portion 51 and the outer diameter D7 of the marker-absent portion 52 are not only numerically the same but also practically the same.
- the difference between the outer diameter D6 of the marker-placed portion 51 and the outer diameter D7 of the marker-absent portion 52 is 0 to 0.1 mm, preferably 0 to 0.05 mm, more preferably 0.01 to 0.03 mm.
- the outer diameter measurement method is not particularly limited, but the outer diameter and outer diameter difference are compared by measuring the outer diameter at the middle between the tip and the proximal end of the marker with a laser outer diameter device.
- the catheter 1 configured as described above can improve retention of the guide wire inserted into the lumen 5 by the marker placement portion 51 having a small inner diameter. Moreover, since the inner diameter D2 of the marker-absent portion 52 is larger than the inner diameter D1 of the marker-placed portion 51, the sliding resistance of the catheter 1 as a whole with respect to the guide wire can be reduced. In addition, since the outer diameter D6 of the marker-placed portion 51 is substantially the same as the outer diameter D7 of the marker-absent portion 52, the insertability of the catheter 1 into the body lumen can be improved. Therefore, the catheter 1 can improve the ease of inserting the catheter 1 into the body lumen while maintaining the guide wire holdability and slidability.
- the outer diameter D3 of the marker 30 may be equal to or less than the outer diameter D4 of the reinforcing body 20.
- the outer diameter D6 of the marker-placed portion 51 is substantially the same as the outer diameter D7 of the marker-absent portion 52, the outer layer 40 covering the marker 30 is prevented from becoming thinner than necessary and the strength of the shaft 2 is reduced. can.
- the marker 30 is arranged on the small diameter portion 22 of the reinforcing member 20, the unintended movement of the marker 30 in the axial direction X can be effectively suppressed by the reinforcing member 20. .
- the shape of the outer peripheral surface of the marker 30 may be polygonal in a cross section perpendicular to the axial direction X of the shaft 2 . As a result, the contact area between the marker 30 and the outer layer 40 covering the outer peripheral surface of the marker 30 is increased, and the markers are stably joined, thereby suppressing a decrease in the strength of the shaft 2 .
- the outer diameter of the shaft 2 is 0.6 mm or more and 0.9 mm or less
- the inner diameter D1 of the lumen 5 of the marker placement portion 51 is 0.38 mm or more and 0.55 mm or less
