Abstract
A concept for reliable and simple connection of a heat-resistant end piece (17) to a hose body (18) is described, and particularly a multiple lumen hose body (18). The connection technique is simple and reliable and leads to high quality probes having a long lifetime.
Claims15
A plasma probe (12), comprising:
- a hose body (18) that comprises a jacket section (22) configured in a manner limiting at least one lumen (19, 20, 21) and a center section (26), which is connected with the jacket section (22) by at least one wall section (23);
- and
- an end piece (17) that is arranged at a distal end (15) of the hose body (18) and comprises a passage channel (29) as well as a tube shank (30) that extends into the hose body (18);
- wherein between the jacket section (22) and the at least one wall section (23, 24, 25) respectively one slit (34, 35, 36) is formed that extends in a proximal direction from the distal end (15) of the hose body (18);
- wherein the tube shank (30) extends into the slit (34, 35, 36).

A method for manufacturing a plasma probe,
- the plasma probe comprising a hose body (18) comprising a jacket section (22) having at least one lumen (19, 20, 21) and a center section (26) that is connected with the jacket section (22) by at least one wall section (23);
- and
- an end piece (17) configured to be arranged on a distal end (15) of the hose body (18) and that comprises a passage channel (29) as well as a tube shank (30);
- wherein the method comprises:
- creating a slit (34) between the jacket section (22) and the at least one wall section (23) originating from the distal end (15) of the hose body (18) in a proximal direction;
- and
- inserting the tube shank (30) in the slit (34) under displacement of the at least one wall section (23) out of the slit (34).
