ABSTRACT:
A probe for introduction into the human or animal body, having a sheath of flexible material and a traction element extending longitudinally in the sheath that is fastened to the sheath for the purpose of effecting curvature by exerting traction at its outer end and runs on one side of the sheath in the region of curvature (B), in particular a papillotome, is to be designed so as to obtain a specified direction of curvature. For this purpose the sheath has different moments of resistance to bending in two mutually perpendicular directions across its cross-section, and the traction element is arranged on the side towards which the sheath has the smaller moment of resistance.
