Abstract
It is the object of the invention, which relates to a tracheal tube (1) and a method for producing a tracheal tube (1), to provide a tracheal tube (1) with a connector (3), wherein the connector (3) is connected to a curved tube (2) by way of a rotatable and pivotable connection that can be easily realized. This object is solved with a device having a joint head part (4) of a ball joint arranged on first end of the connector (3) facing the curved tube (2), a first partial socket (2.1) of the ball joint arranged on a first end of the curved tube (2) facing the connector (3), a locking socket (5) arranged as a second partial socket of the ball joint, and a locking ring (6) arranged for connecting the locking socket (5) with the curved tube (2).
Claims11
A tracheal tube (1), which comprises:
- at least one curved tube (2),
- a connector (3),
- wherein the connector (3) has a first end facing the curved tube (2) forming a joint head part (4) of a ball joint,
- wherein the curved tube (2) has a first end facing the connector (3) forming a first partial socket (2.1) of the ball joint,
- a locking socket (5) arranged as a second partial socket of the ball joint, and
- a locking ring (6) connecting the locking socket (5) with the curved tube (2).
A method for producing a tracheal tube (1), comprising the steps of:
- providing a connection between a curved tube (2) and a connector (3), wherein the connector (3) is provided on a first end facing the curved tube (2) with a joint head part (4) of a ball joint, wherein the curved tube (2) is provided on a first end facing the connector (3) a first partial socket (2.1), wherein a locking socket (5) is provided as a second partial socket of the ball joint, wherein the joint head part (4) of the connector (3) is formfittingly and movably secured by the two partial sockets (2.1;
- 5), wherein the second partial socket is connected to the curved tube (2) by a locking ring (6), and
- mounting the connector (3) with the joint head part (4) so as to be pivotable in spatial directions X and Y and rotatable about its longitudinal axis (9).
