5. The medical device according to claim 1 , wherein the rotating body has a distal opening and a proximal opening.
6. The medical device according to claim 5 , further comprising:
a center axis of the distal opening and a center axis of the drive shaft are in a same direction.
7. The medical device according to claim 1 , wherein a corrugated severing portion is formed between an inner circumference of the rotating body and an outer circumference of the rotating body.
8. The medical device according to claim 7 , wherein portions that form a corrugated shape of the corrugated severing portion are arranged along a circumferential direction of the rotating body.
9. The medical device according to claim 7 , wherein adjacent portions of a corrugated shape of the corrugated severing portion form an acute angle.
10. The medical device according to claim 7 , wherein the corrugated severing portion has at least two different tapered portions, and each of the at least two different tapered portions includes a tapered portion on a distal side having an angle with respect to an axis in a longitudinal direction that is greater than an angle with respect to the axis in the longitudinal direction of a tapered portion on a proximal side.
11. The medical device according to claim 7 , wherein a distal surface of the corrugated severing portion is perpendicular to an axis in a longitudinal direction of the medical device.
12. The medical device according to claim 7 , comprising:
an outer circumference side portion of the corrugated severing portion are twisted in an opposite side of a rotation direction of an inner circumference side portion of the severing portion.
13. The medical device according to claim 1 , comprising:
an area occupied by the distal surface of the rotating body is greater than an area occupied by a hollow lumen of the rotating body.
14. The medical device according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting member is a rod-like member.
15. A medical device for removing an object that exists in a body lumen, the medical device comprising:
