PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a blood vessel pressing device that can reduce a radiation exposure dose to which medical workers are exposed during treatment and easily adjust pressures applied on blood vessels in a treatment area.SOLUTION: A blood vessel pressing device 1 includes a ring-shaped member 2 and a plate 3 for supporting the ring-shaped member 2. The plate 3 has a through-hole 3b at the central position, and the ring-shaped member 2 is fixed onto the plate 3 concentrically with respect to the through-hole 3b. By holding both end parts 3a of the plate 3 by an operator and pressing a treatment area 5a of a patient by the leading end of the ring-shaped member 2, the blood vessel pressing device is used in embolo/sclerotherapy for vascular malformation. Thus, medical workers hold the plate 3 supporting the ring-shaped member 2 that is pressed on blood vessels and then perform medical treatment, which reduces a radiation dose to which they are exposed. In addition, the medical workers press the blood vessels with the ring-shaped member 2 through the plate 3 without directly operating the ring-shaped member 2, and therefore they can easily adjust pressures applied on the blood vessels and hardly get tired even after using the blood vessel pressing device for a long time.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】血管圧迫用器具において、治療の際に医療従事者の放射線被曝線量を軽減し、被治療部位の血管圧迫の調整を容易に行えるようにする。【解決手段】血管圧迫用器具1は、リング状部材2と、このリング状部材2を支持するプレート3とを備え、プレート3は中央位置に貫通穴3bを有し、リング状部材2は貫通穴3bと同心にプレート3に取り付ける。プレート3の両端部3aは作業者より保持されて、リング状部材2の先端が患者の被治療部位5aに押圧され、血管奇形の塞栓硬化療法に用いられる。これにより、医療従事者は血管を圧迫するリング状部材2を支持するプレート3を保持して治療を行うため、医療従事者の放射線被曝線量を軽減できる。また、医療従事者はリング状部材2を直接操作せず、プレート3を介してリング状部材2で血管を圧迫するためその操作が容易であり、長時間使用しても疲れにくい。【選択図】図1
