The cleaning member A1 for a medical tube is shaped like a spherical body having a porous fibrous structure formed of a large number of superfine fibers aggregated and intertwined three-dimensionally. The spherical body moves along a lumen surface of the medical tube together with a cleaning liquid, with the cleaning member wiping and cleaning the lumen surface of the medical tube. <??>The porous member A1 for cleaning the treatment appliance insertion lumen of the endoscope is formed approximately spherically by molding a large number of superfine fibers. The porous member A1 can be swelled with an aqueous cleaning liquid. When the porous member Al swells, the outer diameter of the porous member A1 becomes larger than the inner diameter of a treatment appliance insertion lumen 44 of an endoscope D to be cleaned. Further because the porous member A1 deforms, the porous member A1 can be inserted into the treatment appliance insertion lumen 44 of the endoscope D. Moreover, the aqueous cleaning liquid flowing into the treatment appliance insertion lumen 44 of the endoscope D allows the porous member A1 to move in contact with an inner wall of the lumen 44. <IMAGE> |
