ABSTRACT:
The flexible shaft suitable for technical and surgical endoscopes consists at least partly of circular braiding of webs interwoven with one another. A particularly stable and torsion-resistant shaft also having low wall thickness is produced in that weaving of the webs formed by the flat wires is single-braided, and in that the circular braiding is machined by hammering, particularly in the region of the crisscrosses of the flat wires.
