Zusammenfassung:	A flexible T-tube for utilization in surgical procedures and the like includes a flexible crossbar comprising two generally planar and intersecting walls joined at an apex and forming a V-shaped channel communicating with the stem near the center of the apex. The stem has an elliptical outer cross-section near the juncture thereof with the crossbar channel and is aligned such that the major axis of the elliptical cross-section of the stem is aligned generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the crossbar channel. The walls of the crossbar channel are trimmed prior to insertion into a body duct such that the walls fit generally snugly within the duct.
