Viton Bending Rubber

Bending Rubber

The serpentine component that wraps an endoscope's bending section. It holds shape through curved paths, reducing twisting and breakage and making articulation stable.

Geometry changes with bending-section length, segment pitch and assembly method. Send a physical sample or a drawing and we confirm mould feasibility first.

Properties and application

Properties
Geometry
Serpentine structure

The segmented structure holds shape on curved paths, lowering the risk of failure from twisting and kinking.

Material
High elasticity · cold resistant

Elasticity is retained even at −35 °C, with good mould resistance. Durometer can be specified widely, from 80A to 85D.

Application
Endoscope bending section

Used on the bending section of endoscopes for minimally invasive gastroenterological, thoracic and gynaecological surgery. Shape is retained through repeated articulation.

Frequently asked

FAQ
The material is called Viton — is it TPU?

The published specification also lists TPU-family properties (80A–85D, −35 °C cold resistance). Send the properties you need and we confirm the compound actually used.

Can I specify the segment pitch?

Yes. Tell us the bend angle and cycle-count requirement and we propose pitch together with wall thickness.

Does it survive reprocessing (cleaning and disinfection)?

It has mould resistance and medical-grade properties. Tell us the cleaning and disinfection conditions you will use and we confirm suitability.

Can I get a sample first?

Yes. Send a geometry drawing or a physical sample and we reply with prototype schedule and cost.
