Abstract: The invention concerns a tracheal tube with an inflatable cuff surrounding the tube which has a sealing function against the trachea, and which is through a separate channel connected to the surroundings to monitor and regulate the inside pressure in the inflated cuff. The particular feature of the inflatable cuff is a number of local bulges distributed along the circumference of the cuff. With the invention it is accomplished that the sealing in the areas with bulges becomes effective, because the channels formed by the length-wise folds in the cuff are interrupted by thin-walled bulges, in such a way that liquid and secretions do not penetrate down into the patient's lungs.
