Abstract
There is disclosed a guiding tube for introducing rod-like medical instruments such as a catheter, which can be easily split and removed from, for example, a catheter, after the catheter inserted through the guiding tube has been attached to a blood vessel. The guiding tube comprises a main body provided with a longitudinal slit and formed of a mixture of first and second materials and a stripe detachably embedded liquid-tight in the slit of the main body and formed of a third material which exhibits a good bonding to the second material, but a poor bonding to the first material.
