Bend stiffener

A bend stiffener is a type of cable protection system. They are conically shaped polyurethane mouldings designed to add local stiffness to a riser, flowline, cable or umbilical. They limit the bending stresses and curvature to acceptable levels.[1] They are used in the oil and gas industry as part of offshore deep sea drilling operations.
