Abstract
A fluid conduit includes a flexible member having a tubular wall for conveying a fluid and a circumferential structural member positioned adjacent to the tubular wall. The structural member is disposed about a central axis of the conduit so as to form a plurality of spaced segments along the wall. The segments are spaced apart relative to each other to define a gap therebetween. The gap is sized to be closed by contact between adjacent segments upon a predetermined flexure of the flexible member. A method of forming the fluid conduit includes forming a flexible member with a tubular wall and forming a groove about a central axis of the conduit in a portion of the tubular wall. The groove is formed by removing material from the tubular wall or compressing material on the tubular wall.
