Connecting piece for a double lumen tube with two individual lumen tubes

Abstract

Connecting piece (16) for a double-lumen tube (12) with two single-lumen tubes (14; 16), particularly for use in the tracheobronchial system. The connecting piece (26) has an input connection (28) for the double-lumen tube (12) branching into two output connections (30; 32) for the single-lumen tubes (14; 16), and the clear passages for the double-lumen tube (12) on the one hand and the output connections for the single-lumen tubes (14; 16) on the other hand are constructed in such a way that in their cross-sectional shape they have a substantially step-free continuous transition into the lumina of the tubes to be attached.
