Zusammenfassung:	An intubation, endotracheal, or other tube having a tubular portion provided with a bulbous cuff encirclingly disposed on its distal end. The cuff is formed from an easily compressible or distortable material which constantly seeks to revert to its original shape, yet, when distorted, exerts pressure of small magnitude on the distorting object. The cuff sealingwise engages the walls of a patient's encircling tracheal lining. The cuff of one embodiment is reduced in diameter at its center for accommodation of the patient's vocal cords.
