PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a puncture body for preventing puncture accidents, which is the biodegradable puncture body to be indwelled in a human body after puncturing.SOLUTION: The puncture body includes: a body part 3 where one end (a distal end 1) is sharply pointed and the other end (a proximal end 2) has a flat surface 7 and a connection part 10 having a flat abutment surface 9 on which the end of a tubular hollow body 6 is abutted. In the connection part 10, an elliptical columnar projection 4 is projected in the flat surface 7 on the proximal end side of the body part 3. The connection part 10 includes the flat abutment surface 9 where the end of the tubular hollow body 6, that has a cross-sectional area being larger than the axial cross-sectional area of the elliptical columnar projection 4, is abutted on a step part 8 which is formed by the arrangement of the projection 4.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】穿刺後に体内に留置される生分解性の穿刺体であって、針刺し防止を実現することができる穿刺体を提供する。【解決手段】一方の端部(先端部1)が鋭角的に尖らされており、かつ他方の端部(基端部2)が平滑な面7を有する本体部3と、管状中空体6の端部が当接する平滑な当り面9を備えた連結部10と、を有する。また、当該連結部10は、本体部3の基端側の平滑な面7に楕円柱状の突起4が突設され、当該突起4を設けられたことにより形成される段部8に当該楕円柱状の突起4の軸断面積より大きな断面積を有する管状中空体6の端部が当接する平滑な当り面9を備えられている。【選択図】図1
