A DEVICE AND A METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING AN ELONGATED HOLLOW PROFILE ELEMENT, AN ELONGATED HOLLOW PROFILE ELEMENT, AND A BENDING SECTION FOR AN ENDOSCOPE
The invention relates to a device for manufacturing an elongated hollow profile element that has at least one pulling wire (13), comprising:two counter-bearings (11, 12), which are arranged on opposite sides of the device and which correspond to the elongated ends of the elongated hollow profile element, wherein one end of the at least one pulling wire (13) is anchored to the distal counter-bearing (11), anda mold (2a, 2b), which forms a sealed elongated cavity (3) that can be filled with a hardening material, wherein the cavity (3) extends between the two counter-bearings (11, 12) and the pulling wire (13) extends in the cavity (3) so as not to touch the cavity wall.The invention further relates to a method for manufacturing an elongated hollow profile element that has at least one pulling wire (13), the elongated hollow profile element, and a bending section for an endoscope.
