Abstract
A bending section () for an endoscope () and the endoscope, where the bending section comprises a number of segments (), where adjacent segments are connected by a first hinge () and a second hinge (). Both the first and the second hinges are made integrally from the same material as the segments (), and the first and second hinges are arranged for allowing the connected segments to bend in a bending plane. A second hinge at the distal end of a segment forms a continuous rib () with the second hinge () at the proximal end of the segment. This continuous rib is arranged perpendicular to the bending plane.
