<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a protective tube not stretched in its longitudinal direction even under severe sterilization treatment and excellent in flexibility and shape stability. <P>SOLUTION: The outer periphery of a flexible metal tube (2) is covered with a glass braided material (3) to which high tensile force heat-resistant fibers (4) are longitudinally applied. Next, The glass braided material (3) and the high tensile force heat-resistant fibers (4) are impregnated with silicone varnish (5). Finally, the outer periphery of the glass braided material (3) impregnated with the silicone varnish (5) is covered with a silicone rubber layer (6). <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT</p> |
