ENDOTRACHEAL TUBE FOR MECHANICAL VENTILATION
An improved endotracheal tube or patient ventilation tube which prevents the leakage of proximal secretions to the distal airways of the patient.
Endotracheal intubation and supraglottic airway device
An intubation and supraglottic airway medical device. The device includes an air tube for ventilation, and a tube for guiding a fiber-optic-probe-scope to the distal end of the device. The distal end of the device is configured with a balloon around the tube system and between a bottom plate and the tube system such that when inflated the distal end of the air-tube is moved and thereby positioning the air-tube distal opening in front of a laryngeal inlet. Additionally, the balloon forms a seal with the surrounding tissue. The device includes a drainage loop and an esophageal blocker preventing aspiration. The air tube distal end can include a lifting plate configured to lift an epiglottis when the balloon is inflated.
DOUBLE LUMEN TUBE CAPABLE OF FIXING TRACHEA CARINA
The present invention relates to a double lumen endotracheal tube capable of being fixed to the trachea carina, the tube including: a first tube extended in one direction; a second tube extended while being adjacent to the first tube and having an extended portion bent toward one side thereof and extended longer than the first tube; a first balloon extended while passing through the first tube so as to expand or contract a first cuff connected to the end thereof; a second balloon extended while passing through the second tube so as to expand or contract a second cuff connected to the end thereof; and a third balloon extended while passing through between the first tube and the second tube so as to expand or contract a third cuff connected to the end thereof.

METHODS OF INTUBATING A PATIENT
Intubation devices and methods of intubating a patient are provided. The intubation devices include a laryngeal mask airway (LMA) component having a mask portion and a tube portion and an endotracheal tube (ETT) component positioned in the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) component having a translatable and/or rotatable endotracheal tube. The endotracheal tube can be translated and/or rotated by a manipulation rod extending through the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) component and mounted to the endotracheal tube (ETT). The intubation devices may include inflatable cuffs adapted to manipulate the positioning or orientation of the endotracheal tube and/or to seal openings about the endotracheal tubes. Various ports, passages, and conduits are provided to enhance the use and manipulation of the intubation device.
