A method of making a double-cuffed endotracheal tube is disclosed which includes forming a unitary double-cuff member, inserting and inverting one of the cuffs into the other cuff and connecting the cuffs on a plastic tube, and sealingly connecting the ends of the cuffs to the tube. A method of sealingly connecting one end of the inner cuff which is within the outer cuff to the tube includes inserting a pipe into the tube and through a sidewall opening in the tube, and flowing sealant material through the tube to seal one end of the inner cuff to the tube.
