CA 2284356

In accordance with the invention, an intubation set is provided having an improved connector between the tube and a probe. In a preferred embodiment, the connector includes a deformable sleeve which at one end receives an end of the tube and at the other end is tapered to converge on the probe where it is permanently attached. The tube contains a solid insert which can be set in a compound such as silicone rubber and the sleeve is deformed radially inwardly to trap part of the tube containing the insert thereby locking the tube to the sleeve and hence to the probe. A method of making the intubation set is also provided. The invention also provides an improved intubation set for use in intubating the canaliculi without probing a healthy nasolacrimal duct.
