Abstract
The volume of a pressure equalization balloon is connected to a further volume, the pressure of which is intended to remain as constant as possible. To keep the cuff pressure in the pressure range of between roughly 20 mbar and 30 mbar, the equalization balloon is produced from a thermoplastic polymer (TPE) and is overstretched past the maximum intended control volume before first use and is then relaxed to the range of the control volume.
