Abstract
A medical device for multiple bends, includes a distal-side traction member which is inserted through the distal-side bending portion and the proximal-side bending portion, which is configured to bend the distal-side bending portion in the bending orientation, and which includes a distal-side fixing portion fixed to the distal end of the distal-side bending portion in the axial direction, and a proximal-side traction member which is inserted through the proximal-side bending portion, which is configured to bend the proximal-side bending portion in the bending orientation, and which includes a proximal-side fixing portion fixed to the distal end of the proximal-side bending portion in the axial direction. The proximal-side fixing portion is disposed at substantially the same position as the distal-side fixing portion in a circumferential direction.
