Medical - Medical: Instruments
Japanese term or phrase: 医療用嘴管
医療用嘴管及び体液誘導管 : number 51 in the PMDA list of medical device categories.

Anyone have the correct term? My best guess would be cannula but not really sure. The specific product is a catheter system

English translation:cannulae/catheters of assorted tip configurations
Explanation:
嘴 is defined as a beak, bill

I see the word “beak” in reference to catheters. It’s the part/tip that enters the body. There are websites that show a variety of catheter tips (beak-shaped, rounded, curved, basket-shaped tips [called basket catheters], etc., etc.)

In conclusion, after looking through all these websites, I’d say "cannulae" as you surmised and add "catheter" (see Japanese website below) to be "cannulae/catheters of assorted tip configurations."

If confined to “bird-beak tip” cannulae (which exists), I think it would be limiting as a category. And, the Japanese definition describes it as the “tip” (sometimes it says “distil tip” of the catheter. There are so many types of cannulae/catheter tips configured. Please see the assortment in the “maquet” website below….

The catheter has a beak-shaped distal tip and a shaft with spring support. Based on in vitro tests, these design features showed improved ability to pass through a simulated coronary artery model with a bend and to aspirate gel.

Elbowed catheter - a urethral catheter with a sharp bend near the beak, used to get around an enlarged prostate.

The below website has really great photos of a variety of cannulae and catheter tips. One model has a unique “bird-beak tip” for easier and safer insertion into the aorta.
It takes looooog to download – maybe because my internet isn’t so fast. 

Thanks for your research on this. These PMDA categories are quite general. I found that 'tubes and catheters' is the one and only sub-category under 51, but I went for the generic 'medical tubing with tip' for the general category.

agree  chris_k: it's a category, so it broadly means nozzle, ie tip. 'medical grade nozzles and tubes' is my guess.

  -> Thank you, cris! Maquet, the catheter/cannulae manufacturer calls them "tips/tip configurations" so I used that term. I was surprised at the varieties.
