Intubation Instruments.—The present tubes are made of vulcanizedrubber on a metal frame, in six or more sizes corresponding to the ageof the child.

The retaining swell is of such a calibre that the cricoidconstriction of the larynx keeps the tube in place under ordinary circum-stances and yet allows of its ready expulsion when the lumen is blocked Fig. 85 Fig. 86.
