Section: claims

1. A method for manufacturing a medical wire comprising:coating a wire with a coating being either a liquid containing a fluororesin or a powder of fluororesin, and the wire being a super elastic alloy wire or a synthetic resin-coated superelastic wire coated with a synthetic resin other than a synthetic resin containing only fluororesin; andirradiating the coating at a wavelength of 0.9 to 5.6 μm of infrared radiation using a quartz heater for a prescribed period of time. 2. The method for manufacturing a medical wire according to claim 1, wherein the prescribed period of time is from 3 to 20 seconds. 3. A method for manufacturing a colored medical device comprising:coating an outer surface of a medical device substrate with a coating being either a liquid that contains a fluororesin and a coloring substance or a fluororesin powder body that contains said coloring substance; andirradiating the coating at a wavelength of 0.9 to 5.6 μm of infrared radiation for a prescribed period of time. 4. The method for manufacturing a colored medical device according to claim 3, wherein the prescribed period of time is from 3 to 20 seconds. 5. The method for manufacturing a colored medical device according to claim 4, whereinthe medical device substrate is either a superelastic alloy wire or a superelastic alloy wire coated with a synthetic resin other than a synthetic resin containing only fluororesin. 6. The method for manufacturing a colored medical device according to claim 3, whereinthe medical device substrate is either a superelastic alloy wire or a superelastic alloy wire coated with a synthetic resin other than a synthetic resin containing only fluororesin. 7. A method for manufacturing a fluororesin-coated colored medical device comprising:coating an outer surface of a medical device substrate with a liquid primer that contains a fluororesin and a coloring substance;applying another coating to the outer surface of the medical device substrate with either a liquid that contains a fluororesin but does not contain a coloring substance or a fluororesin powder body that does not contain a coloring substance; andirradiating the coatings at a prescribed wavelength of infrared radiation for a prescribed period of time. 8. A method for manufacturing a colored medical device comprising:applying a first coating to an outer surface of a medical device substrate with a primer liquid that contains a fluororesin and a coloring substance;applying a second coating to the outer surface of the medical device substrate, the second coating being either a liquid that contains a fluororesin and a coloring substance or a fluororesin powder body that contains a coloring substance; andirradiating the coatings at a prescribed wavelength of infrared radiation for a prescribed period of time.
