A catheter and a surgical medical device. The catheter includes at least; a first elastic member positioned at an end portion of the catheter: a second elastic member connected with the first elastic member, the second elastic member being curved with a first radius of curvature to protrude toward a first direction; a first wire connected with a first surface of the first elastic member, and configured to pull the catheter to bend the catheter in the first direction; a second wire connected with a second surface of the first elastic member, which is opposite to the first surface, and configured to pull the catheter to bend the catheter in a second direction; and a tube containing the first elastic member, the second elastic member, the first wire, and the second wire.

Multi-curvature catheter and medical device for surgery

A catheter delivery device having an improved mechanism for inserting a catheter into a blood vessel of a patient. The catheter delivery device includes at least: a body including a delivery path of a catheter; a pair of feeders having grippers located on the delivery path of the body and are configured to grip and release the catheter; and a rotator configured to rotate the catheter gripped by the feeders. The feeders move from a grip position where the grippers grip the catheter to a forward position where the grippers advance in a state of gripping the catheter, from the forward position to a grip release position where the grippers release the catheter, from the grip release position to a backward position where the grippers retract in a state of releasing a grip on the catheter, and from the backward position to the grip position.
