A medical needle manufacturing method, a medical needle manufacturing apparatus, and a medical needle are disclosed capable of suppressing the generation of a level difference and burrs/flashes in a boundary section between a needle hub and a needle body in an inner peripheral portion of the needle hub. The manufacturing method of a medical needle includes a large-diameter-portion molding step of molding, by a core pin, a large-diameter portion in a proximal portion of a needle body; a core-pin backward-movement step of moving backward the core pin by a predetermined distance relatively to the needle body; and an injection molding step of molding a needle hub by injecting a resin into an injection molding mold.

A hollow filament type blood processing apparatus, typically dialyzer includes a bundle of multiple hollow filaments (3) for processing blood inserted in a housing (2). Inlet and outlet ports (12, 11) are disposed in the housing near its opposite ends for passing a dialysis fluid through the housing. The filament bundle is fixedly secured to the housing at its opposite ends by partitions (5, 6). Caps (9, 10) are fixedly attached to the opposite ends of the housing and each have a port for passing blood from one port (8) to the other port (7) through the hollow filaments. Each cap has received therein inside and outside elastomeric rings (17a, 17b). The inside elastomeric ring (17a) is interposed under pressure between the cap (9) and the partition (5). The outside elastomeric ring (17b) is interposed under pressure between the cap (9) and the housing (2). No blood leakage occurs between the caps and the housing.
