How do anacondas' stomachs shield themselves against the sharp claws of the prey they devour?

Very few organisms swallow their prey as a whole leaving them no choice but to swallow all the sharp accompaniments too. I was wondering how the claws of the prey don't scratch the insides of anacondas and the like.

Snakes have a tendency to eat their prey head first, which makes it to where the claws won't catch on the way down. Since the limbs will be essentially bound in position as near everything gets digested, the claws don't have much chance to cause damage to the digestive tract.

I can't say if there's any protections against claws if the snake regurgitates the meal before it has a chance to break down.
