PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve operability of a catheter for measuring esophageal temperature.SOLUTION: A catheter 10 for measuring esophageal temperature has a handle 200 that is miniaturized so as to have a length from a rotational shaft of a rotational plate 206 to a base end of a handle 200 of 2 to 11 cm, whereby a deviating operation of a tip part of the catheter 10 for measuring esophageal temperature is operable by one hand by pressing a base end part of the handle 200 to a palm to fix it.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2018,JPO&INPIT【課題】食道温度測定用カテーテルの操作性を向上させる。【解決手段】食道温度測定用カテーテル10のハンドル200をコンパクト化し、回転板206の回転軸からハンドル200の基端までの長さを2~11cmとすることにより、ハンドル200の基端部を手のひらに押し当てて固定し、食道温度測定用カテーテル10の先端部の偏向操作を片手で可能とする。【選択図】図1
