The present invention provides a flexible printed circuit board having a
band-like meandering pattern as a whole, which includes multiple linear
parts configured about parallel to each other and a folding margin
connected to one end in a longitudinal direction of two adjacent linear
parts of the multiple linear parts, and which can turn into a single
linear product having a total length of not less than 300 mm when the
folding margin is double-folded at about a center thereof, and, at the
folding margin, either of the two linear parts connected to the folding
margin is folded back in a direction opposite by 180 degrees. As a
result, a flexible printed circuit board for a catheter, which is
sufficiently elongate for use as a signal line of a catheter, can be
produced using a general-purpose production apparatus.
