A flexing structure for an insertion tube of a medical device including tubular vertebrae with a proximal tubular vertebra and a distal tubular vertebra and at least one actuating cable surrounded by a sheath over at least part of its length, the flexing structure including a tube cut with energy-beam cutting lines to create tubular vertebrae that nest in one another, the proximal tubular vertebra including, for each actuating cable, a radial and axial blocking system for the sheath, comprising an elongate cutout created in such a way as to delimit two stop edges that limit the radial engagement of the sheath in the cutout, this cutout opening at its distal part into a slot delimited by at least two cutout lines between which there is attached a pressing tab designed to press the sheath radially against the two stop edges of the cutout, this slot being bordered by a rim for axially stopping the sheath.

Flexing structure with cutouts for a medical device

The invention relates to a containment enclosure comprising two compartments () and a sealing system between the two compartments. The sealing system () comprises a door () having two opposite faces (). The door comprises a transfer support () on one of its faces. According to the invention, the door allows two closed positions distinct from one another, in which positions the door forms a gastight interface between the two compartments.
