A popoid connector (10) for use with other medical devices such as tracheal tubes, intubation tubes and aspiration and ventilation systems comprises a plurality of saucer shaped members each having a first portion and a second portion to form a corrugated portion (38) along the connector. One side of each of the saucer shaped members is provided with at least one circumscribi ng reinforcing rib (140, 142) to provide additional structural support for the popoid connector. The reinforcing ribs are integrally formed with the popoid connector. The reinforcing ribs inhibit transverse collapsing of the popoid connector and add rigidity to the popoid connector when the popoid connector is in a bent position.
