Abstract

Provided is a medical tube including: a main body; a first lumen formed in the main body in a longitudinal direction of the main body; a plurality of second lumens formed in the main body in the longitudinal direction of the main body, the plurality of second lumens formed about at least a portion of a circumference of the first lumen; a portion of a distal end of the first lumen comprising a first indicator, the first indicator configured to specify a rotational direction position about the longitudinal direction of the main body of any one of the plurality of second lumens with respect to the first lumen; and a portion of the proximal end of the main body comprising a plurality of second indicators, wherein each of the plurality of second indicators are configured to indicate each of the plurality of second lumens specified by the first indicator.

Claims (32)

1. A medical tube comprising:

a main body;

a first lumen formed in the main body in a longitudinal direction of the main body;

a plurality of second lumens formed in the main body in the longitudinal direction of the main body, the plurality of second lumens formed about at least a portion of a circumference of the first lumen;

a portion of a distal end of the first lumen comprising a first marker, the first marker configured to specify a rotational direction position about the longitudinal direction of the main body of any one of the plurality of second lumens with respect to the first lumen; and

a portion of the proximal end of the main body comprising a second marker, wherein the second marker is configured to indicate one of the plurality of second lumens specified by the first marker.

2. A medical tube according to claim 1 ,

wherein the second marker comprises a plurality of second markers, and wherein each of the plurality of second markers are configured to indicate each of the plurality of second lumens specified by the first marker.

3. A medical tube according to claim 2 ,

wherein the first marker has identification information corresponding to each of the plurality of second markers, wherein the plurality of second markers correspond to each of the plurality of second lumens.

4. A medical tube according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a cap configured to attach to a proximal end of the main body,

a proximal portion of the cap, the proximal portion comprising a plurality of second markers, each of the plurality of second markers configured to indicate each of the plurality of second lumens specified by the first marker.

5. A medical tube according to claim 4 , wherein the cap comprises:

a hollow cylinder configured to receive a treatment tool inserted therethrough, wherein the second lumen is configured to receive the hollow cylinder inserted therethrough.

6. A medical tube according to claim 1 ,

wherein an inner diameter of each of the plurality of second lumens is configured to expand to a diameter of an outer diameter of a treatment tool.

7. A medical tube comprising:

a main body;

a first lumen formed in the main body in a longitudinal direction of the main body;

a plurality of second lumens formed in the main body in the longitudinal direction of the main body, the plurality of second lumens formed about at least a portion of a circumference of the first lumen;

a portion of a distal end of the first lumen comprising a first marker;

the first marker configured to specify a rotational direction position about the longitudinal direction of the main body of any one of the plurality of second lumens with respect to the first lumen;

a cap configured to attach to a proximal end of the main body; and

a proximal portion of the cap, the proximal portion comprising a plurality of second markers, each of the plurality of second markers configured to indicate each of the plurality of second lumens specified by the first marker.

8. A medical tube according to claim 7 ,

wherein an inner diameter of each of the plurality of second lumens is configured to expand to a diameter of an outer diameter of a treatment tool.

9. A medical tube according to claim 7 ,

wherein the first marker has identification information corresponding to each of the plurality of second markers, wherein the plurality of second markers correspond to each of the plurality of second lumens.

10. A medical tube according to claim 7 , wherein the cap comprises:

a hollow cylinder configured to receive a treatment tool inserted therethrough, wherein the second lumen is configured to receive the hollow cylinder inserted therethrough.

11. A medical tube according to claim 7 , further comprising a portion of the proximal end of the main body comprising the plurality of second markers, wherein each of the plurality of second markers are configured to indicate each of the plurality of second lumens specified by the first marker.
