US Patent:

20060174893, Aug 10, 2006

Filed:

Feb 3, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/346686

Inventors:

Arthur Kanowitz - Littleton CO, US

International Classification:

A62B 9/06
A61M 16/00

US Classification:

128207140, 128200260, 128207150, 128207160

Abstract:

An endotracheal airway is established using an endotracheal tube having an exterior retention structure defined by a series of longitudinally spaced recesses separated by projections. A variably-sized orifice in a faceplate constricts within a recess and contacts the projections to create a barrier against movement of the endotracheal tube. The faceplate is retained on the mouth by connection to a stabilization collar which surrounds the neck of the patient to restrain against flexion and extension which could reposition the endotracheal tube from its desired position.

Appl. No.:

13/080933

Inventors:

Arthur Kanowitz - Littleton CO, US

Assignee:

SECURISYN MEDICAL, LLC - Littleton CO

International Classification:

A61M 16/00

US Classification:

12820717

Abstract:

An airway stabilization system is provided for maintaining an airway device in a patient's trachea and for preventing clinically significant movement thereof with respect to the patient's vocal cords in response to the application of multidirectional forces to the airway device. The system includes a retention collar secured to the airway device to define a retention structure, a restraining device adapted to releaseably engage the retention structure and to cooperate therewith to prevent clinically significant movement of the airway device, and means for securing the restraining device to a patient's head.

Appl. No.:

13/924568

Inventors:

Arthur Kanowitz - Littleton CO, US

International Classification:

A61M 16/04

US Classification:

12820715, 12820717

Abstract:

An airway stabilization system is provided which may be fitted to any airway device to maintain an airway in a patient and which prevents clinically significant movement of the airway device with respect to the patient's vocal cords in response to the application of significant forces in any direction to the device, be they longitudinal, torsional/rotational or bending. The system comprises an improved airway device and an improved securing device having interactive components that cooperate integrally with and engage one another to provide unparalleled strength and stability against movement. The securing device includes a unique stabilizer conjured to releasable engage or release a retention structure on the airway device with a simple twist to facilitate ease of application in all conditions. A connector is also provided for facilitating ease of connection and disconnection to a source of ventilatory air without constricting the airway device.

Arthur Kanowitz - Littleton CO, US

Assignee:

Securisyn Medical, LLC - Littleton CO

International Classification:

A61M 16/04

Abstract:

An airway stabilization system including an airway device and a securing mechanism or faceplate therefor is provided which includes active stabilizing components on both the airway device and the faceplate which prevent clinically significant movement of the airway device with respect to the patients vocal cords in response to the application of significant forces in any direction to the device, be they longitudinal, torsional/rotational or bending. The system includes an airway device and an attached retention collar which interacts with a securing device/patient to ensure proper airway insertion depth and provide unparalleled strength and stability against movement. The airway stabilization system includes a unique stabilizer readily adapted for use in field situations to releasably engage or release a retention structure on the airway device to facilitate ease of application in all conditions, a twist-off 15 mm connector which allows a secure connection of the 15 mm connector to the airway device while facilitating easy disconnection thereof, and a universal bite block which cooperates with the securing system to prevent oral and/or dental damage and discomfort to the patient when the system is installed.

A61B 5/00

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for determining the optimal endotracheal tube size for the intubation of a patient based upon both optimal tube length and optimal tube diameter which are determined by using either direct or indirect measurement devices or techniques to measure the patient's glottis aperture and tracheal length. The apparatus may include a maneuverable arm, a fiber optic video guidance system and an introducer guide to maneuver an end of the apparatus around obstructions in a patient who has a difficult airway to facilitate insertion of either an optimally sized endotracheal tube or a standard endotracheal tube into the patient's airway.
