LOWER JAW THRUSTING, MANDIBULAR PROTRACTING, TONGUE HOLDING, UNIVERSAL OROPHARYNGEAL AIRWAY DEVICE

A lower jaw thrusting (LJT) mandibular protracting oral airway device including an elongate member with a distal end and a proximal end defining an air passageway channel. The elongate member includes a lip flange, a curved main body, and a bite block. The lip flange is located at the proximal end and has an outwardly projecting surface. The curved main body extends to the distal end. The bite block is disposed between the lip flange and the curved main body. The bite block includes an upper dorsal surface having a first bite portion for maxillary incisor teeth engagement and a lower ventral surface having a second bite portion for mandibular incisor teeth engagement. The bite block includes a mandibular flange projecting downwards from the lower ventral surface located distal to the second bite portion for mandibular incisor teeth engagement and proximal to the first bite portion for maxillary incisor engagement. 1. A lower jaw thrusting (LJT) mandibular protracting oral airway device , comprising: a lip flange located at the proximal end of the elongate member having an outwardly projecting surface configured to overlie lips of the patient;', 'a curved main body extending to the distal end of the elongate member, that provides downward and inferior tongue pressure resistive to backward tongue movement; and', 'a bite block disposed between the lip flange and the curved main body, including an upper dorsal surface having a first bite portion for maxillary incisor teeth engagement and a lower ventral surface having a second bite portion for mandibular incisor teeth engagement, the bite block including a mandibular flange projecting downwardly from lower ventral surface, located distal to the second bite portion for mandibular incisor teeth engagement and proximal to the first bite portion for maxillary incisor teeth engagement., "an elongate member having a distal end and a proximal end defining an air passageway channel therebetween, the elongate member sized for ...

Lower jaw and tongue thrusting, endotracheal tube and flexible fiberoptic endoscope intubation oral airway device

A lower jaw and tongue thrusting endotracheal tube and flexible fiberoptic endoscope intubation oral airway device having an elongated body including, a mandible flange with a lingual flat portion transversely disposed on a ventral surface of a tongue plate. The device having an open top toward the palate like a rectangular trough. The trough extends through the device from the proximal end to the front middle part of the tongue plate. The device includes an L-shaped insert that slideably couples between the upper lip flanges and acts also as dorsal surface of the bite block. The distal end of the tongue plate end comprises a curved surface which tapers to a narrow distal edge. A pair of upstanding walls attach to the tongue faceplate ventral surface edges which taper as they extend posteriorly. The walls ensure protection for medical instruments disposed within the flexible fiberoptic endoscope guide.

Inhaler adapter

An adapter for use over a canister of compressed gas having an actuating valve stem is provided. The adapter redirects gas flow from the valve stem to a cavity from which the gas may be inhaled. The design of the adapter is such that the gas from the canister is transferred to the nose of a user while minimizing the amount of gas that escapes into the atmosphere prior to inhalation.

Personal container with attachment mechanism

A container for storing and dispensing a liquid and a gas to a user has a portable liquid container; a dual-purpose lid cover hingedly connected to the portable liquid container; a liquid dispensing cap attached to an upper portion of the portable liquid container; a nose cavity portion disposed on the dual-purpose lid cover to facilitate delivery of a gas; wherein said dual-purpose cap pivots from a secure liquid cap orientation to a gas delivery orientation. Also included is a a gas canister disposed on the portable liquid container. A valve assembly is disposed between the dual-purpose lid cover and the gas container wherein the gas is selectively dispensed and regulated through the dual-purpose lid cover when placed in the gas delivery orientation. Also provided is an attachment means for removably connecting said gas canister to said side of said portable liquid container.
