Abstract
A stylet for use in intubating an endotracheal tube, catheter or like medico-surgical tube comprises a bendable metal rod hermetically sealed in a tubular plastic sheath so the rod is closely encircled by the sheath, but so the two can flex longitudinally independently of each other. The ends of the sheath are molded in a smoothly rounded closed shape and it has a frosted finish on its external surface.
