[A rigidity study on the bending of the outer casings of flexible medical endoscopes]
Abstract
The paper deals with the rigidity of the outer sheaths of flexible medical endoscopes for bending on theories and experiments. It also shows that the outer plastic sheath connected with a metal braid makes a great contribution to the bending rigidity of the sheaths.
