SHEATH FOR GASTROSTOMA, DILATOR PROVIDED WITH SHEATH, SHEATH FOR GASTROSTOMA PROVIDED WITH INSERTION AID, CATHETER KIT FOR GASTROSTOMA AND METHOD OF DIVIDING SHEATH FOR GASTROSTOMA

摘要

It is intended to provide a sheath (1) for gastrostoma which comprises sheath body (11), into which a catheter (2) for gastrostoma is inserted, and a handle (12) and which is to be preliminarily inserted into a fistula in the case of inserting the catheter to the fistula and placing it in the body to thereby reduce the resistance against the insertion of the catheter for gastrostoma; a dilator provided with a sheath; a catheter kit for gastrostoma; and a method of dividing a sheath for gastrostoma. Use of the sheath for gastrostoma as described above makes it possible to reduce the insertion resistance in the case of placing a button type catheter for gastrostoma in gastrostomy or at the exchange of the catheter for gastrostoma. Moreover, it facilitates the air-supply control of an endoscope so that the endoscopic visual field can be stabilized in the course of operation.
