Zusammenfassung: | An endoscope comprising a handle at the proximal end, an insertion tube connected to the handle. The insertion tube comprises a bending section (6). The bending section (6) comprises a first elongate bending section part (10) and a second elongate bending section part (10'). The first elongate bending section part (10) comprises a number of first annular members (13). The first annular members (13) are arranged in a row and interconnected by a number of first bridges (14) so as to form a first comb-like structure. The second elongate bending section part (10) comprises a number of second annular members (13'). The second annular members (13') are arranged in a row and interconnected by a number of second bridges so as to form a second comb-like structure. The outer circumferential surface of at least some of said first annular members (13) comprise a groove adapted to receive and accommodate a second bridge of said second bending section part (10') and the outer circumferential surface of at least some of said second annular members (13') comprise a groove adapted to receive and accommodate a first bridge (14) of said first bending section part (10). |
