Abstract
An implantable medical tube arrangement including a tube wall which is resistant to bending loads, tensile loads and radial compressive loads without being damaged and is formed from at least one profiled part which is wound in a coil-shaped manner with the windings abutting against each other, wherein the profiled part's side edge running in the direction of rotation of the coil is connected to the side edge of the adjacent section of the profiled part by means of an engaging mechanism. At least one electrically conductive wire- or rope-like insertion strand is connected to the profiled par. An electrically conductive configuration of the profiled part itself is also possible.
