ABSTRACT:
An improved tracheostomy tube is disclosed having an inferiorally angled or downwardly bent rotatable, pivotal external connector portion which will accomplish immediate downward bending of a ventilator tube at a point immediately adjacent the anterior aspect of a patient's neck. The tracheostomy tube is adapted to eliminate the forward extension of any appreciable amount of hardware from the patient's neck and will serve to avoid interference with the patient's chin as well as the resultant discomfort and potential disruption of the ventilator tubing.
