Abstract

See full text

An bendable endoscope is disclosed which comprises tube sections. Neighbouring tube sections are completely materially separated from one another via a circumferential separating gap and are only connected to one another with a positive fit. By providing a corresponding number of tube sections, a flexible shank or a flexible shaft may be formed. The manufacture may be effected by laser cutting from a rigid tube.
