Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A flexible driveshaft (10) includes a proximal coupler (12) and a distal coupler (14) each configured to couple to a respective component (18, 20) of an instrument, and a flexible shaft (16) having a proximal end (16A) connected to the proximal coupler, a distal end (16B) connected to the distal coupler, and a longitudinal axis (22). The flexible shaft may include a sleeve (24), and a core (26) having a first end and a second end. The core is housed within the sleeve. The flexible shaft also includes a plurality of coils (28) arranged around the longitudinal axis in at least one layer (34,36).
