Abstract

De uitvinding heeft betrekking op een nieuw cuffontwerp voor endotracheale tubes met enkele of dubbele cuff, voor het bereiken van een verbeterde afdichting van de cuffs met de tracheale wand van de patient, waarbij lucht- en/of vloeistoflekkage wordt vermeden. De verbeterde afdichting werkt niet alleen beter, maar wordt oak als comfortabeler ervaren voor de patient. Het speciale cuffontwerp bestaat uit secties en kan verder warden voorzien van een (of meerdere) eenrichtingsklep, al dan niet opblaasbaar. De uitvinding heeft voorts betrekking op sensor- en/of meetmiddelen, in het bijzonder voorzien van een dubbele cuff ET-tube, voor het detecteren of er lekkage optreedt tussen de cuffs en de tracheale wand van de patient.The invention relates to a new cuff design for single or double cuffed endotracheal tubes to achieve an improved seal of the cuffs with the patient's tracheal wall while avoiding air and/or fluid leakage. The improved seal not only works better, but is also perceived as more comfortable for the patient. The special cuff design consists of sections and can be further equipped with one (or more) one-way valve, inflatable or not. The invention furthermore relates to sensor and/or measuring means, in particular provided with a double-cuffed ET-tube, for detecting whether leakage occurs between the cuffs and the tracheal wall of the patient.
