| Abstract: | A new self-inflating cuff for endotracheal or tracheostomy tubes is described. It is self-inflating, never exerts a lateral wall pressure greater than tracheal pressure, is reliable at all ventilating pressures and flows, and maintains its reliability for extended periods of time when tested in vivo. |
