ABSTRACT:
A tracheal tube assembly has a tracheal tube carrying an inflatable cuff and an inflation tube for the cuff. A novel inflator for the cuff has serially avenged pilot and control balloons, with the control balloon having a higher compliance than the pilot balloon and being connected directly to the inflation tube. Inlet and outlet valves are mounted in a support tube extending through the pilot balloon and into the control balloon. Both valves are check valves, open by pressing a pin on the valve element. To open the outlet valve, an opening head is resiliently connected to the end of the support tube inside the control balloon.
