Abstract

A medical tube is described. The medical tube (10) comprises a tubular portion, an expandable portion (12) and a pilot balloon for monitoring pressure in the expandable portion. The pilot balloon (14) includes a pressure difference indicator (24) configured to move from a first position to a second position when a pressure difference between pressure inside the pilot balloon and pressure outside the pilot balloon exceeds a predetermined pressure difference threshold.
