Abstract
The gastrostomy catheter includes a shaft in which a lumen is provided, a flexible bumper which is provided at a tip of the shaft, and a wire which has elasticity and can bias the bumper in a diameter-increasing direction and restricts deformation of the bumper in a diameter-decreasing direction. At least a portion on a tip side of the wire biases the bumper in the diameter-increasing direction or restricts the deformation of the bumper in the diameter-decreasing direction by the elasticity of the wire in a state in which the wire is disposed in the bumper.
