Conventional introducers, such as for introducing endotracheal tubes, are made from a braided sleeve repeatedly coated with layers of resin. This is a labour-intensive and expensive process. In the present invention the introducer comprises a solid rod 2 made of an aliphatic polyurethane containing about 20% barium sulphate. The hardness of the material is about 60 Shore D so that the introducer is resilient within a range of deformation and beyond this range it is bendable into a set shape that only resumes its original shape at a slower rate
Les intubateurs classiques, utilisés pour l'introduction de sondes endotrachéales, par exemple, sont faits de tubes tressés enduits de multiples couches de résine. Il s'agit d'un procédé de fabrication coûteux et à forte main-d'oeuvre. Dans la présente invention, l'intubateur est constitué d'une tige solide (2) en polyuréthane aliphatique contenant environ 20 p. cent de sulfate de baryum. Le matériau a une dureté Shore D; au-delà de cette zone de déformation élastique, l'intubateur peut être plié et ne reprendra sa forme initiale que plus lentement.
