Abstract: A tracheal tube assembly includes an outer cannula configured to be positioned in a patient airway and an inner cannula configured to be disposed inside the outer cannula. The tracheal tube assembly further includes a flange member secured about the outer cannula, and an outer cannula connector coupled to a proximal end of the outer cannula. The inner cannula includes a proximal end region with features that facilitate insertion and/or removal.

Abstract: A tracheal tube system includes a conduit and an inflatable cuff disposed on the conduit that seals a patient's airway. The tracheal tube system also includes an inflation line disposed along a portion of a length of the conduit and terminating in an opening within the inflatable cuff. The tracheal tube system further includes a speaking valve disposed at a proximal end of the conduit and in fluid communication with the inflatable cuff. The speaking valve is fluidly coupled to the inflatable cuff via a one-way valve such that fluid from the cuff flows into the speaking valve when the one-way valve is open.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing more than one inflatable cuff per blow molding operation is provided. The method includes using two or more molds arranged in series and/or in parallel to simultaneously form two or more cuffs. The two or more cuffs may then be used in the manufacture of two or more respective endotracheal tubes. Apparatuses and systems for simultaneously forming the two or more cuffs are also provided.
