A tracheal tube is made by the attachment proximate to its patient end an inverted cuff, so that the flash lines that result from the molding of the cuff is hidden from view, and any loose material from the flash lines of the cuff is trapped within the cuff, instead of falling into the patient. The smooth surface of the inverted cuff also prevents potential secretion buildup on the cuff and facilitates the cleaning of the tracheal tube. |
