PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a paracentesis device and a paracentesis needle capable of realizing accurate paracentesis when a living tissue is subjected to the paracentesis.SOLUTION: A paracentesis device 1 comprises a paracentesis needle which has a bow-shaped curve and punctures a living tissue by its rotation, a paracentesis member 3E which is connected to the paracentesis needle and comprises a rotational shaft to be rotational center of the paracentesis needle, and a supporting part 17 which rotatably supports the paracentesis member 3E on the rotational shaft and movably supports the paracentesis member 3E in a direction orthogonal to the rotational shaft. The supporting part 17 is so constructed that first paracentesis onto the paracentesis member 3E and second paracentesis in which curvature is larger than that of the first paracentesis are sequentially operated.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】生体組織に対して穿刺を行なう際、その穿刺を正確に行なうことができる穿刺装置および穿刺方法を提供すること。【解決手段】穿刺装置1は、弓状に湾曲し、回動することにより生体組織を穿刺する穿刺針と、穿刺針に連結され、穿刺針の回動中心となる回動軸とを有する穿刺部材3Eと、穿刺部材3Eを回動軸回りに回動可能に支持するとともに、回動軸と直交する方向に移動可能に支持する支持部17とを備える。この支持部17は、穿刺部材3Eに対して、第1の穿刺と、第1の穿刺よりも曲率が大きい第2の穿刺とを順に行なう操作するよう構成されている。【選択図】図36
