Cuffed medico-surgical tube

摘要

A cuffed tracheostomy tube assembly has a moulded tube 1 with a channel 10 extending along its outside. A cuff member 20 is attached with the tube, the cuff member having an extended rear sleeve 23 that extends over the channel 10 to the machine end 5 of the tube 1. An inflation line 30 is joined in the channel 10 beneath the rear sleeve 23 so that an inflatable portion 22 of the cuff member towards the patient end 2 of the assembly can be inflated.
