ている。2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a catheter tube is used to be inserted into a blood vessel of a human body and deliver a liquid drug to an affected part through the tube, and is usually made of resin. However, when a catheter tube is inserted into a blood vessel of a human body, there is a problem that buckling is easily caused and operation is difficult because of low strength. Therefore, when inserting the catheter tube into a blood vessel, a guide wire is used to reach the affected part.
