Medical appliance having a slidable coating layer and syringe
A medical appliance having a slidable coating layer that moves in contact with an inner surface of a medical member or that of a lumen and has the slidable coating layer formed at a part thereof which contacts the medical member or the lumen. The slidable coating layer is formed of a composition which does not contain solid fine particles and contains a silicone-based resin which is a product of an addition reaction between silicone having a vinyl group and silicone having a hydrogen group bonded to a silicon atom.
1. A coated medical appliance, comprising:
a medical appliance which is configured to move while being in contact with an inner surface of a medical member or an inner surface of a lumen; and
a slidable coating layer, wherein the slidable coating layer is formed at a part of the medical appliance for contacting said medical member or said lumen,
wherein said slidable coating layer is formed of a composition which does not contain solid fine particles,
wherein said slidable coating layer contains a silicone-based resin which is a product of an addition reaction between silicone having a vinyl group and silicone having a hydrogen group bonded to a silicon atom.

3. The coated medical appliance according to claim 1 , wherein said silicone having said vinyl group is prepared by a dispersion emulsification method.
4. The coated medical appliance according to claim 1 , wherein said composition does not contain a tin-based compound.
5. The coated medical appliance according to claim 1 , wherein said composition contains a platinum group metal-based catalyst.
6. The coated medical appliance according to claim 1 , wherein said silicone-based resin of said composition is formed by hydrosilylation between said vinyl group of said silicone and silicon bonded to said hydrogen group, of said silicone, bonded to said silicon atom.
7. The coated medical appliance according to claim 1 , wherein said silicone having said hydrogen group bonded to said silicon atom is a homopolymer or a copolymer of polymethylhydrosiloxane having a trimethylsilyl group at both terminals thereof.
8. The coated medical appliance according to claim 1 , wherein said silicone having said hydrogen group bonded to said silicon atom is a homopolymer or a copolymer of polydimethylsiloxane having said hydrogen group bonded to said silicon atom at both terminals thereof.
9. The coated medical appliance according to claim 1 , wherein said silicone having said vinyl group is a siloxane or a silane having said vinyl group.
10. The coated medical appliance according to claim 1 , wherein said composition contains an alkyl alkoxy silane or a phenylalkoxysilane and in addition, a glycidoxy alkyl alkoxysilane.
11. The coated medical appliance according to claim 1 , wherein said composition contains an alkoxysilane having an ureido group, an uraren group, a product formed by a reaction between an alkoxysilane having an amino group and a carboxylic anhydride, or a combination thereof.
12. The coated medical appliance according to claim 1 , wherein said silicone-based resin is a thermosetting silicone-based resin.
13. The coated medical appliance according to claim 1 , wherein said slidable coating layer has a thickness of 1 to 30 μm.
14. The coated medical appliance according to claim 13 , wherein an initial sliding resistance value of said slidable coating layer is not more than a maximum value of a dynamic sliding resistance value thereof.
15. The coated medical appliance according to claim 1 , wherein said medical appliance is a guide wire or a catheter.
16. The coated medical appliance according to claim 1 , wherein said medical member is an outer cylinder for a syringe; said medical appliance is a gasket for said syringe slidably accommodated inside said outer cylinder for said syringe; and said gasket has a gasket body made of an elastic body and said slidable coating layer formed on a part thereof which contacts at least said outer cylinder for said syringe.
17. The coated medical appliance according to claim 16 , wherein said medical member is a plastic outer cylinder for a syringe; and said medical appliance is a gasket for said plastic outer cylinder for said syringe.
18. A syringe, comprising:
an outer cylinder; and
the coated medical appliance according to claim 1 , wherein the coated medical appliance is a gasket slidably accommodated inside said outer cylinder; and
a plunger which is mounted or capable of being mounted on said gasket.
19. The syringe according to claim 18 , wherein the syringe contains a medical agent solution.
20. The syringe according to claim 18 , wherein a dynamic sliding resistance value of said gasket is not more than 20 N when said gasket slides inside said outer cylinder at a low speed (100 mm/minute).
21. The syringe according to claim 18 , wherein said outer cylinder is made of a plastic.
22. The syringe according to claim 18 , wherein the gasket comprises a gasket body made of an elastic body, and wherein the slidable coating layer is formed on a part of the gasket which contacts at least said outer cylinder.
