Zusammenfassung:A medical device and a treatment method are disclosed capable of breaking an object in a body lumen efficiently with a lower burden on body lumen tissues. A medical device is disclosed that is inserted into the body lumen so as to crush an object in the body lumen, the medical device including: an elongated shaft that is to be rotatably driven, and a deformable breaking member that is connected to the shaft so as to be rotatable and extends along the shaft. The breaking member has a first contact portion and a second contact portion. The first contact portion is located most outward in the radial direction of the breaking member in a state in which the breaking member is expanded radially outward. The second contact portion is located more outward in the radial direction of the breaking member than the first contact portion in a contracted state.
