原文（中国語）

A bendable catheter body having a plurality of links connected in series along a longitudinal axis. The plurality of links includes a first link having an annular first intermediate portion, a first male protrusion extending proximally from the intermediate portion, and a second male protrusion extending distally from the intermediate portion. The first male protrusion is configured to be received within a first female recess of a second link of the plurality of links and includes a first pair of engagement surfaces facing the intermediate portion and first end surface. The engagement surfaces are configured to engage a pair of second engagement surfaces of the second link to limit axial extension of the catheter shaft. The first end surface is configured to engage an edge surface of a second intermediate portion of the second link to limit axial compression of the catheter body.
