A medico-technical device, such as an endoscope ( 1 ), has an everting tube ( 3 ) that encloses an endoscope shaft ( 2 ) for driving the latter. To minimize friction incurred by relative movement between the endoscope shaft ( 2 ) and the everting tube ( 3 ) and/or friction between two opposed surfaces of the everting tube ( 3 ), a lubricant is applied to the areas. To accomplish this, at least one of the everting tube ( 3 ) and the endoscope shaft ( 2 ) are coated with a first component provided in solid matter. By adding a second component, which reacts with the first component, to the first component, the first component liquefies and/or swells so as to develop its lubricating properties. |
