Abstract[English]
Disclosed herein is a tube for use in a surgical device that is to be inserted into the human or animal body at least in part and a method for manufacturing such a tube. The tube according to the present disclosure extends from a proximal end to a distal end of the tube and includes a plurality of bendable segments. Each of the bendable segments includes three proximal openings, three central openings and three distal openings in a wall of the tube. The central openings are arranged along a circumference of the tube and separated from each other by central connecting portions of the wall. The central connecting portions are displaced from each other by between 105° and 135° along the circumference of the tube. The proximal openings are arranged on a proximal side of the central openings with each of the proximal openings being adjacent to a respective one of the central connecting portions. The distal openings are arranged on a distal side of the central openings with each of the distal openings being adjacent to a respective one of the central connecting portions.[French]
L'invention concerne un tube destiné à être utilisé dans un dispositif chirurgical qui doit être inséré au moins en partie dans un corps humain ou animal, et un procédé de fabrication d'un tel tube. Le tube selon la présente invention s'étend d'une extrémité proximale à une extrémité distale du tube, et comprend une pluralité de segments pliables. Chacun des segments pliables comprend trois ouvertures proximales, trois ouvertures centrales et trois ouvertures distales dans une paroi du tube. Les ouvertures centrales sont disposées le long d'une circonférence du tube et séparées les unes des autres par des portions de liaison centrales de la paroi. Les portions de liaison centrales sont décalées les unes par rapport aux autres entre 105° et 135° le long de la circonférence du tube. Les ouvertures proximales sont disposées sur un côté proximal des ouvertures centrales, chacune des ouvertures proximales étant adjacente à une portion respective des portions de liaison centrales. Les ouvertures distales sont disposées sur un côté distal des ouvertures centrales, chacune des ouvertures distales étant adjacente à une portion respective des portions de liaison centrales.
