PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a medical needle configured such that an inner needle is punctured a relatively long distance into thin tissue such as a mucous membrane.SOLUTION: Provided is a medical needle 2 comprising: an outer needle 5 having an inner hole 5a and also having a pointed end 5c at the front tip thereof and an inner needle 6 received within the inner hole 5a of the outer needle 5 so as to be capable of extending out of and retracting into the front tip opening of the inner hole 5a. The inner needle 6 is formed in a straight flat bar-like shape, constituted of an elastically deformable material. A guide section, provided near the front tip opening of the inner hole 5a of the outer needle 5, guides the inner needle 6 extending out of the front end opening in such a manner that the inner needle 6 is bent about the long axis of the transverse cross-section of the inner needle 6 and, thereby causing the inner needle to protrude in a direction with a predetermined angle with respect to the longitudinal direction of the outer needle 5.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】粘膜のような薄い組織に対して比較的長い距離にわたって内針を穿刺する。【解決手段】内孔5aを有するとともに先端に尖端5cを有する外針5と、該外針5の内孔5a内に、該内孔5aの先端開口から出没可能に収容された内針6とを備え、該内針6が、弾性変形可能な材質からなる扁平な直棒状に形成され、外針5の内孔5aの先端開口近傍に、該先端開口から突出する内針6をその横断面の長軸回りに湾曲させて外針5の長手方向に対して所定の角度方向に突出させるように案内するガイド部を備える医療用針2を提供する。【選択図】図1
