Abstract
A guide wire holder includes a sheath having a lumen, an operation wire inserted into the lumen and configured to be able to advance and retract in the lumen, and a hook continuous with a distal end of the operation wire, being formed to be bent in a convex shape toward a distal side, and protrudes from a distal end of the sheath. The sheath has a side surface extending from the distal end of the sheath to a proximal end side in a direction of the longitudinal axis. The hook intersects a ridge line of the side surface and forms a closed region closed by the hook and the ridge line in a front view. The guide wire holder is configured to hold the guide wire located outside the sheath in the closed region in a state that the hook is disposed at a retracted position at which the hook is retracted.
