Abstract: An endoscope having an articulated bending section body including a number of segments, the segments having a central passage adapted in cross-sectional shape to receive and support the exterior surface of a bendable tubular member providing a working channel of the endoscope. The cross-sectional shape includes a number of sectors of a circular periphery having a shared center and the same radius, the total length of said sectors being longer than half of said circular periphery, so as to provide said support for the exterior of the bendable tubular member providing the working channel of the endoscope. The cross-sectional shape includes at least one outwardly extending lobe in which a coil spring is accommodated.

Abstract: A support for a chest compression system includes a back plate, a front part having a seat for a compression member of a chest compression system, and a side part connecting the back plate to the front part. The side part is adapted to provide adjustable spacing between the seat and the back plate to accommodate patients having different chest heights to allow the support to be snugly placed around the chest of a patient.
