Abstract
An uncuffed nasotracheal tube for use in minor maxillofacial surgery h as been developed using polyurethane. The suitability of this tube as an alternative to the existing soft red rubber and harder polyvinyl ch loride materials has been assessed at four centres during anaesthesia for routine oral surgery. The tube was found to be satisfactory.
