A support for reinforcing a fluid infusion tube to prevent it from kinking during a surgical operation. The support runs to the distal end of the tube and is either embedded in the wall of the tube, adhered or heat sealed to the tube either on the tube's interior surface or on the exterior surface, or loosely retained within the lumen. The support may be coiled about the exterior or interior of the tube to provide the desired rigidity to prevent kinking.
