1. A fitting body defining first, second, and third ports, the first and second ports being coaxial and on opposite ends of the fitting body, the third port extending laterally relative to the first and second ports, the first port having a diameter sufficient to receive a proximal end of an endotracheal tube for introduction of the endotracheal tube into a subject's trachea, the second port including a membrane-holding portion and being configured to receive a longitudinal object intended to fit into the endotracheal tube and then into a subject's trachea, and the third port having a diameter sufficient to receive a gas-delivering conduit for delivery of gas to the subject;
an elastomeric membrane mounted to the membrane-holding portion such that the membrane is circumferentially sealed to the membrane-holding portion, the membrane defining an orifice having a diameter sufficient to pass, with stretching of the membrane, the longitudinal object from outside to inside the subject's trachea, the stretching of the membrane providing a gas-tight seal of the membrane to the longitudinal object. |
