摘要

FIELD: medical engineering; surgery. SUBSTANCE: flexible catheter 1 is positioned inside stretched spiral 3 made of elastic material. Catheter has section 2 of higher flexibility at its end. One of ends of spiral 3 is secured on catheter 1 on boundary of section 2, and the other end is made for controllable coupling to liquid source designed to increase volume of higher flexibility section 2.
