Abstract
An abrasion-resistant braided hose (1) having an abrasion-resistant layer (4) located between an inner hose (2) and a braiding covering (3). The abrasion-resistant layer is preferably a strip of Teflon® helically or spirally wrapped around the inner hose to allow for flexibility. The abrasion-resistant layer reduces the amount of friction between the inner hose and the braided covering, thereby reducing the likelihood of the inner hose rupturing and failing.
