  • Patent number: 4423725
    Abstract: A multiple surgical cuff for introduction into a body passage such as a trachea, bladder and urethra opening or artery comprising a tubular base member encircled by proximal, distal and middle double cuff members. The middle double cuff member comprises an inflatable tubular inner cuff member encircled by a distensible tubular outer cuff member, whose wall is multiperforated at spaced points. Separate passage means communicate with each cuff member so that each can be inflated to press against the adjacent portion of the body passage wall. Another passage communicates with the space between the inner and outer cuff members of the middle double cuff member to permit the introduction of a surgical fluid such as an anesthetic in that space, so that expansion of the inner cuff member forces the fluid onto the adjacent portion of the wall of the body passage.
