Abstract
The invention relates to a balloon cuff (1) for a tracheal intubation device, the balloon cuff (1) being elastically deformable and extending between an inner surface (3) surrounding an axis (A) and an outer surface (5) surrounding the inner surface (3), the balloon cuff (1) comprising inner walls that define ducts (13, 15) that extend through the balloon cuff, the balloon cuff (1) being configured to go from a deflated state to an inflated state by injecting a fluid into the ducts (13, 15) such that the outer surface (5) moves away from the axis.
Claims19
A balloon cuff for a tracheal intubation device,
- the balloon cuff comprising inner walls,
- the inner walls defining ducts passing through the balloon cuff,
- the balloon cuff being elastically deformable, the balloon cuff extending between an inner surface surrounding an axis and an outer surface surrounding the inner surface,
- the balloon cuff being configured to transition from a deflated state to an inflated state by injection of a fluid into the ducts so that the outer surface moves away from the axis.
