ABSTRACT:
A tracheostomy tube assembly has a tube the forward end of which is located within the trachea and supports an inflatable sealing cuff. The rear end of the assembly supports a soft, semi-flexible flange having slots which receive a tape by which the assembly is secured about the patient's neck. The assembly also carries a second inflatable plastics cuff mounted on the flange, which encircles the tube and has a raised portion on opposite sides of the tube. The volume of the second cuff, when inflated, is sufficient to accommodate the space between the flange and the neck without elastic deformation of the cuff.
