Control device for use in endoscope, has proximal and distal end sections and center section, where proximal and distal end sections have articulated zone

摘要

The control device (34) has proximal and distal end sections and a center section. The proximal and distal end sections have an articulated zone, and the center section is arranged between the two proximal and distal end sections. The distal ends of a longitudinal element are fixed in peripheral direction in angular positions. The angular positions are different from the angular position in which assigned proximal ends are fixed. A hollow cylinder component is made of ferrous alloy or nitinol.
