Abstract

A housing tool suppresses rotation of a tubular body in a winding direction that holds an elongated medical body in a packaging body, and suppresses deformation of a distal end portion of the elongated medical body. The housing tool includes a tube-shaped holder that is wound in a circular shape for holding a guide wire, a fastening member that fixes adjacent portions of the wound holder, and a mounting member that includes engagement portions and to be engaged with the fastening member, reaches an outer side of a circle of the holder wound in a circular shape, and covers an end portion of the holder from which the guide wire is derived.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A housing tool comprising:
an elongated tubular body that is wound to form a wound tubular body and configured to hold an elongated medical body such that the elongated medical body projects outwardly beyond an end portion of the wound tubular body, the wound tubular body including a radially outermost winding and a radially innermost winding;
a fastening member that fixes radially adjacent portions of the wound tubular body to each other;
a mounting member that includes an engagement portion to be engaged with the fastening member, the engagement portion including a hole portion through which the fastening member passes;
the mounting member covering a first part of the wound tubular body, inclusive of the end portion of the wound tubular body, the mounting member extending outwardly beyond an outer periphery of a part of the radially outermost winding of the wound tubular body, the mounting member covering less than the entirety of the wound tubular body so that a part of the radially innermost winding of the wound tubular body is uncovered by the mounting member; and
second and third parts of the tubular body each being uncovered by the mounting member over a respective radial extent of the tubular body from the radially innermost winding to the radially outermost winding, the second and third parts being diametrically opposite to one another.

2. The housing tool according to claim 1 , wherein the engagement portion is positioned between adjacent portions of the wound tubular body.

3. The housing tool according to claim 1 , wherein the hole portion opens to a border portion of the mounting member.

4. The housing tool according to claim 1 , wherein the mounting member further includes an auxiliary engagement portion that is engaged with the tubular body.

5. An elongated medical body that is held in the housing tool according to claim 1 , including packaging in which the elongated tubular body, the fastening member and the mounting member are positioned.

6. A housing tool comprising:
an elongated tubular body that is wound to form a wound tubular body and configured to hold an elongated medical body such that the elongated medical body projects outwardly beyond an end portion of the wound tubular body, the wound tubular body including a radially outermost winding and a radially innermost winding;
a fastening member that fixes radially adjacent portions of the wound tubular body to each other;
a mounting member that includes an engagement portion to be engaged with the fastening member, the engagement portion being engaged with the fastening member on opposite sides of the fastening member in a winding direction of the tubular body such that the fastening member is interposed between portions of the engagement portion;
the mounting member covering a first part of the wound tubular body, inclusive of the end portion of the wound tubular body, the mounting member extending outwardly beyond an outer periphery of a part of the radially outermost winding of the wound tubular body, the mounting member covering less than the entirety of the wound tubular body so that a part of the radially innermost winding of the wound tubular body is uncovered by the mounting member; and
second and third parts of the tubular body each being uncovered by the mounting member over a respective radial extent of the tubular body from the radially innermost winding to the radially outermost winding, the second and third parts being diametrically opposite to one another.

7. The housing tool according to claim 6 , wherein the engagement portion includes first and second spaced apart projecting portions that project in opposite directions.

8. The housing tool according to claim 6 , wherein the fastening member passes through the engagement portion so that respective spaced apart regions of the engagement portion on the opposite sides of the fastening member engage the opposite sides of the fastening member.

9. A housing tool comprising:
an elongated tubular body in which is positioned an elongated medical body, the elongated medical body being removable from the tubular body, the tubular body and the elongated medical body inside the tubular body being wound so that the wound tubular body includes portions that are radially adjacent one another, the wound tubular body possessing a radially outermost winding and a radially innermost winding, the tubular body possessing an end portion from which projects a portion of the elongated medical body;
a fastening member mounted on the wound tubular body so that the fastening member fixes a plurality of the radially adjacent portions of the wound tubular body to each other;
a mounting member mounted on the wound tubular body, the mounting member including a sheet-shaped part extending outwardly beyond an outer periphery of the radially outermost winding of the wound tubular body, the mounting member comprising an engagement portion including a through hole, the fastening member passing through the through hole;
the mounting member and a portion of the wound tubular body overlying one another, and the mounting member and the end portion of the tubular body overlying one another; and
a first part of the radially innermost winding of the wound tubular body and the mounting member do not overlie one another, and a second part of the radially innermost winding of the wound tubular body and the mounting member do not overlie one another, the first and second parts being diametrically opposite to one another.

10. The housing tool according to claim 9 , wherein the engagement portion includes a slit extending from the through hole to an outer periphery of the sheet-shaped mounting member.

11. The housing tool according to claim 9 , wherein the mounting member further comprises at least one auxiliary engagement portion that overlies a plurality of the radially adjacent windings of the wound tubular body.

12. The housing tool according to claim 9 , wherein the mounting member further comprises two auxiliary engagement portions that each overlie at least a portion of one of the windings of the wound tubular body.

13. The housing tool according to claim 12 , wherein one of the auxiliary engagement portions projects radially outwardly and the other auxiliary engagement portions projects radially inwardly.

14. The housing tool according to claim 9 , wherein the wound tubular body possesses oppositely facing sides, at least a portion of one of the sides of the wound tubular body being in contact with the engagement portion, and wherein the mounting member further comprises two auxiliary engagement portions, one of the auxiliary engagement portions overlying one of the sides of the wound tubular body and the other auxiliary engagement portion overlying the other side of the wound tubular body.

15. A housing tool comprising:
an elongated tubular body in which is positioned an elongated medical body, the elongated medical body being removable from the tubular body, the tubular body and the elongated medical body inside the tubular body being wound so that the wound tubular body includes portions that are radially adjacent one another, the wound tubular body possessing a radially outermost winding and a radially innermost winding, the tubular body possessing an end portion from which projects a portion of the elongated medical body;
a fastening member mounted on the wound tubular body so that the fastening member fixes a plurality of the radially adjacent portions of the wound tubular body to each other;
a mounting member mounted on the wound tubular body, the mounting member including a sheet-shape
