[Articulated bellows] are fairly long pieces of pipe provided with flexible corrugations and with flanges at either end. The flanges are interconnected by means of a pair of long hinged rods which permit the assembly to flex sideways while keeping the flanges parallel to one another. Such units, in conjunction with hinged bellows pieces can absorb complicated expansion movements such as occur where a pipeline passes down a steep hillside. 1, record 1, English, - articulated%20bellows

[Les soufflets articulés sont des] éléments de tuyaux assez larges, munis de cannelures, avec des collerettes à chaque extrémité. Celles-ci sont interconnectées au moyen d’une paire de longues tiges articulées qui permettent leur assemblage à des inflexions latérales, tout en maintenant les collerettes parallèles entre elles. De telles unités, conjointement avec des éléments de soufflets à charnière, peuvent absorber des mouvements de dilatation complexes comme ceux qui se produisent là où un tuyau arrive au bas d’une colline escarpée. 1, record 1, French, - soufflet%20articul%C3%A9

L'intervention commence donc par la dilatation de l'orifice cervical jusqu'au diamètre nécessaire à l'introduction de la canule d’aspiration. [...] La canule d’aspiration est souple ou rigide. Les canules souples sont droites, ouvertes près du bout sur un côté [...]. Les souples sont moins agressives sur la muqueuse. Les canules rigides sont légèrement incurvées et ouvertes au bout, l'orifice taillé en biais. Elles permettent d’aspirer et de cureter en même temps. La canule d’aspiration se trouve reliée au tuyau d’aspiration par une pièce métallique qui permet la rotation dans l'axe de la canule, sinon, le tuyau en caoutchouc imposerait une contrainte au retour en cas de rotation axiale. 4, record 2, French, - tube%20d%27aspiration
