Abstract
An airway tube (), an artificial airway device () for use in establishing an airway in a patient, and a method of manufacture are provided. The artificial airway device includes the airway tube for introduction into the patient's trachea for passage of gases to and from the patient's lungs. The airway tube defines a longitudinal axis, includes a flexible tube wall (), and is capable of bending so as to fit into a patient's airway. The airway tube includes a distal portion () and a proximal portion (), and is adapted such that all or a part of the proximal portion is relatively more resistant to bending out of the longitudinal axis than all or a part of the distal portion.
