Zusammenfassung:Disclosed are medical tubes and methods of manufacturing medical tubes. In some embodiments, a breathing tube comprises a first elongate member comprising a hollow body spirally wound to form at least in part an elongate tube having a longitudinal axis, and a hollow wall surrounding the lumen, wherein the inside portion of the wall has a smaller thickness than the outside portion of the wall. A second elongate member may be spirally wound and joined between adjacent turns of the first elongate member, the second elongate member forming at least a portion of the lumen of the elongate tube. Also a sensor may be mounted on a PCB secured to the tube walls so that the sensor is disposed in the lumen of the tube. WO 2014/088430 PCT/NZ2013/000222
