Abstract:
A pivotable endotracheal tube assembly includes an insertion tube defining a first ventilating lumen and adapted for insertion in the trachea of a patient, a connection tube defining a second ventilating lumen, and a pivotable fitting adapted to interconnect the tubes to thereby communicate the first and second ventilating lumens and provide free pivotal movement of one relative to the other. The pivotable fitting may include a a distal portion coupled to the insertion tube and having a female component, and may further include a proximal portion coupled to the connection tube and having a male component coaxially telescoped at least partially within the female component. A radial flange on the male component configured to be axially slidable within a corresponding groove in the female component may provide continuous and relative pivotable movement of the components.
