ABSTRACT:
A conduit assembly according to the invention includes a first member comprising a pair of integral conduit sections which interface with a custom connector having a first pair of distal connectors for receiving the receptacles of the duel lumen tube and a second pair of proximal connectors for receiving a shroud and an air tube, respectively. Received at the first proximal connector is a shroud for shielding electrical wiring. Received at the second proximal connector is a distal end of a pneumatic tube, which at its proximal end is connected to an air tube extending from an inflatable section of a cuff. The custom connector minimizes the area of and severity of seams and crevices at a separation area of electrical and pneumatic leads, and assures that the area of separation will endure only minimal mechanical degradation over the course of the device's use.
