Insertion device
An insertion device is an insertion device configured to insert a medical device into a living body, including a needle portion to which at least a portion of the medical device is adhered and being inserted into the living body together with the adhered medical device; and a movable portion configured to be movable relatively to the needle portion in a direction of insertion of the needle portion, wherein the movable portion moves relatively to the needle portion in the direction of insertion to cut an adhered region between the medical device and the needle portion and separate the medical device and the needle portion.
1. An insertion device for inserting a medical device into a living body, comprising:
a needle portion to which at least part of the medical device is adhered and configured to be inserted into the living body together with the adhered medical device, wherein the needle portion internally defines a medical device accommodation space that accommodates the medical device; and
a movable portion that is movable with respect to the needle portion in a direction of insertion of the needle portion, wherein the movable portion has a groove space extending along the direction of insertion that is located within the medical device accommodation space and accommodates the medical device, wherein:
the movable portion is configured to move in the direction of insertion with respect to the needle portion to cut an adhered region between the medical device and the needle portion and separate the medical device and the needle portion.
2. The insertion device according to claim 1 , wherein:
the needle portion comprises a sidewall portion that defines the medical device accommodation space, and
the medical device is adhered to an inner surface of the sidewall portion.
3. The insertion device according to claim 1 , comprising a restricting mechanism configured to restrict relative movement of the needle portion and the movable portion in directions other than the longitudinal direction of the needle portion.
4. An insertion device for inserting a medical device into a living body, comprising:
a needle portion configured to be inserted into the living body together with the medical device, wherein the needle portion comprises a sidewall portion that defines a medical device accommodation space that accommodates the medical device, and wherein the medical device is adhered to an inner surface of the sidewall portion; and
a movable portion that is movable with respect to the needle portion in a direction of insertion of the needle portion, wherein the movable portion has a groove space extending along the direction of insertion that is located within the medical device accommodation space and accommodates the medical device,
wherein the movable portion is configured to move in the direction of insertion with respect to the needle portion to cut an adhered region between the medical device and the needle portion and separate the medical device and the needle portion.
5. A method for inserting a medical device into a living body, the method comprising:
providing an insertion device comprising:
a needle portion to which at least part of the medical device is adhered, wherein the needle portion internally defines a medical device accommodation space that accommodates the medical device, and
a movable portion that is movable with respect to the needle portion in a direction of insertion of the needle portion, wherein the movable portion has a groove space extending along the direction of insertion that is located within the medical device accommodation space and accommodates the medical device; and
inserting, into a living body, the needle portion together with the adhered medical device, which causes the movable portion to move in the direction of insertion with respect to the needle portion to cut an adhered region between the medical device and the needle portion and separate the medical device and the needle portion.
6. An insertion device for inserting a medical device into a living body, comprising:
a needle portion to which at least part of the medical device is adhered and configured to be inserted into the living body together with the adhered medical device; and
a movable portion that is movable with respect to the needle portion in a direction of insertion of the needle portion, wherein:
the movable portion is configured to move in the direction of insertion with respect to the needle portion to cut an adhered region between the medical device and the needle portion and separate the medical device and the needle portion,
the needle portion comprises a wall portion that has a tubular shape extending along the direction of insertion,
the wall portion internally includes a movable portion accommodation space that accommodates the movable portion, and
the wall portion has a loading surface on portion of an outer peripheral surface for placing at least a portion of the medical device that is not adhered to the needle portion.
7. The insertion device according to claim 6 , comprising a restricting mechanism configured to restrict relative movement of the needle portion and the movable portion in directions other than the longitudinal direction of the needle portion.
