Continuous-length extension springs insulated with a transparent heat-shrink jacket. These springs are used in place of traditional throttle conduit (cable housing) for carrying wire rope in cable-driven mechanisms. The biggest advantage over standard throttle conduit is a huge increase in flexibility for use-cases like flexible tentacle animatronics.
