Elongate articulated bending section body for an insertion endoscope
A method for moulding an elongate articulated bending section body (4) for a medical device including a number of segments (7) interconnected via a number of hinge members (8). The method includes the use of a mould having a first number of sub-cavities where each of the sub-cavities has at least one external fluid inlet through which a liquified plastic material is injected into the mould. The sub-cavities are so distributed that each sub-cavity is separated from another sub-cavity by an odd number of sub-cavities without an external fluid inlet.
