An endotracheal tube assembly that is constructed to prevent kinking and crushing of the tube due to interaction with the dontia of a patient or a patient position, orientation, or movement. The endotracheal tube assembly includes a tube defined by a hollow core that extends between a first end and a second end of the endotracheal tube assembly. A reinforcement is formed integrally with the endotracheal tube assembly and constructed to prevent constriction of the hollow core.
