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