Medical device having a mechanism and use of a low-friction synthetic material within a medical device

摘要

A first movable element (4) and a second movable element (7) of a mechanism in a medical device are arranged in such a manner that, during an operation of the mechanism, a surface of the first element slides on a surface of the second element. The first element and the second element are formed from materials providing a coefficient of sliding friction of said surfaces on one another of less than 0.14 at a relative velocity of 2 mm per second.
