Abstract
A tube for insertion into a trachea having a germicidal light source that is positioned above a cuff that holds the tube in place in the trachea. Activation of the germicidal light source causes an radiation emission that kills undesired bacteria that is fostered by the tube and the cuff, reducing the patient's risk of associated disease, and reducing the need for antibiotics.
