An inflatable balloon cuff associated with a tracheal tube may be adapted to reduce the passage of mucosal secretions into the lungs. A cuff as provided may include a sealing composition that plugs or seals any folds in the inflated cuff that may act as leak paths for mucosal secretions. Further, tracheal tube kits are provided for application and/or removal of the sealing composition.
