SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR VARYING BENDING STIFFNESS OF A FLEXIBLE ELONGATE DEVICE

A flexible elongate device comprises an articulable distal section and a non-articulable proximal section. The non-articulable proximal section is proximal to the articulable distal section. A distal portion of the non-articulable proximal section has a first bending stiffness, and a proximal portio...

Zusammenfassung:	A flexible elongate device comprises an articulable distal section and a non-articulable proximal section. The non-articulable proximal section is proximal to the articulable distal section. A distal portion of the non-articulable proximal section has a first bending stiffness, and a proximal portion of the non-articulable proximal section has a second bending stiffness. The first bending stiffness is less than the second bending stiffness. Un dispositif allongé flexible comprend une section distale articulable et une section proximale non articulable. La section proximale non articulable est proximale à la section distale articulable. Une partie distale de la section proximale non articulable a une première rigidité à la flexion, et une partie proximale de la section proximale non articulable a une seconde rigidité à la flexion. La première rigidité à la flexion est inférieure à la seconde rigidité à la flexion.
