PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide medical equipment capable of accurately and easily advancing inside a living body lumen regardless of an individual difference in the anatomical structure of each patient.SOLUTION: Medical equipment 1 includes a first long body 10 having a bendable curved part 12 provided with a first magnetic part 13 that is a magnetic material, and a second long body 20 provided with a second magnetic part 23 that is a magnetic material, which is configured so as to be relatively moved along an axial direction of the first long body so that the second magnetic part relatively moves toward or away from the first magnetic part. The curved part of the first long body is configured so that its external shape is deformable according to the magnetic force the first magnetic part receives from the second magnetic part.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】患者ごとの解剖学的構造の個体差に関わらず、正確かつ簡単に生体管腔内を進行可能な医療器具を提供する。【解決手段】磁性体である第1磁性部13が設けられた湾曲可能な湾曲部12を備える第1長尺体10と、磁性体である第2磁性部23が設けられ、第1磁性部に対して第2磁性部が相対的に接近・離反するように第1長尺体の軸方向に沿って相対的に移動可能に構成された第2長尺体20と、を有し、第1長尺体の湾曲部は、第1磁性部が第2磁性部から受ける磁力に応じて外形形状が変形可能に構成される医療器具1である。【選択図】図1
