Intubation Infection Control Tent
An intubation infection control tent system is described. In an example implementation, an infection control tent includes a cover that forms a space in which a patient can be positioned, the cover creating an infectious barrier between the patient and an external environment, one or more support channels integrated into the cover that provide a rigid structure to the cover, and a drape skirt that connects to an edge of the cover and drapes over a portion of the patient.
Patient airway dome and methods of making and using same
A patient airway dome including an adjustable frame having a hinge such that the hinge allows the frame to adjust between an erected position to create an airway dome and a collapsed position that allows the frame to lay flat, a dome covering located over the retractable frame, a suction port which is connected to a conventional device in order to provide negative pressure to patient airway dome, and an arm access assembly operatively connected to the dome covering, wherein the arm access assembly includes an opening in the dome covering and a closure assembly located adjacent to the opening.
Instrument for accessing and visualizing hollow organs
An instrument for accessing and visualizing hollow organs is provided. The instrument includes a mouthpiece having a perforated mask and a sleeve having a generally cylindrical or ovoid shape extending from the perforated mask substantially perpendicularly thereto and defining a channel. The instrument further includes sucking means having a suction chamber or closed volume that is restrained to the mask on the side where the sleeve is formed. The suction chamber has a plurality of through openings adapted to allow fluid communication with a surrounding environment, an intake opening communicating with the suction chamber formed on the mask, wherein the through openings are formed on the skirt of a dome-shaped member which delimits the suction chamber.
PROTECTIVE HELMET FOR MEDICAL STAFF
A protective helmet, such as an antivirus helmet with a viewing window completely encloses the user's head. The entire helmet is airtight except for an air inlet and air outlet on its side wall. In order to prevent the viewing window from fogging by the user's exhaled gas, the window is made of sandwich glass with central heater wire to warm the glass. The air needed for the user to breathe is supplied by an external high pressure air reservoir. The air undergoes a pressure reduction and cooling process. Such an antivirus helmet provides safe and comfortable air for medical staff to breathe during their work in an infectious disease ward.
Respiratory Treatment Isolation Hood
An isolation hood for respiratory treatment is disclosed. The isolation hood may include a head enclosure defining an interior volume configured to receive the head of a patient, and a neck seal configured to couple the head enclosure to a neck of the patient. The isolation hood may include an inlet port configured to be coupled to a distal end of a treatment source tube and to a first end of a treatment delivery tube, and an outlet port configured to be coupled to an inline particle filter configured to permit air to flow through the head enclosure. The neck seal and the inline particle filter are each configured to prevent viral/bacterial aerosolization outside the hood. The inlet and outlet ports may be attached to respiratory tubing and non-invasive ventilatory equipment to permit aerosol-generating procedures within the hood while preventing viral/bacterial aerosolization outside the hood.
PATIENT INTUBATING PARTITION SPHERE
A disposable, isolating intubation device is described, the device comprising a flexible, spherical compartment inflatable from a collapsible state, the flexible, spherical compartment being substantially transparent and having a closed end and an open end distal from the closed end defining an inside volume for receiving a head, shoulders and a portion of a torso of a patient and methods of using.
TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED LAMINAIR AIR FLOW DEVICE
The present invention provides a practical method for treating atopic dermatitis. By subjecting patients suffering from atopic dermatitis to filtered temperature controlled laminer air flow disease symptoms have been significantly reduced and even removed. The velocity of the laminar air flow is balanced such that body convections are braked without the generation of draught..
CUSTOMIZABLE RESPIRATORY MASK
A customizable mask including a conforming seal is configured to utilize the physical process of granular jamming to enable it to adapt to a wide range of facial geometries. The mask may include a frame having a perimeter and a conduit connection, a conforming seal positioned along the perimeter of the frame; the conforming seal may include a sealing surface and a connecting surface, the connecting surface configured to mate with the perimeter of the frame, and the sealing surface configured to conform to a users' face. The conforming seal may further include an outer casing, granular material contained within the outer casing, and a vacuum connection. The mask may also include a similarly configured conforming frame. Further disclosed are methods of forming such masks
NEEDLE BASED PRECISION VENTURI FLOW-GENERATOR FOR POSITIVE VENTILATION
A flow generator for generating a mixed oxygen air flow, the flow generator including a body having a first inlet, a second inlet, an outlet, and one or more inner surfaces that define a first inner chamber in fluid communication with the first inlet and the second inlet, a second inner chamber in fluid communication with the first inner chamber, and a third inner chamber in fluid communication with the second chamber and the outlet of the body. The flow generator includes a connector disposed in the first inlet and a nozzle disposed within at least a portion of the connector and extending into the first inner chamber. The flow generator further includes an adapter engaged to the nozzle to form a fluid tight path such that the adapter connects to an external oxygen source and transports oxygen into the nozzle.
ARTIFICIAL VENTILATION SYSTEM FOR PATIENTS
An artificial ventilation system includes a patient interface adapted to contain a volume in communication with at least the mouth and nose of a patient. The patient interface is provided with a through hole. The system also includes a nasal cannula connected to the through hole of the patient interface; and a connection element snugly fitted in the through hole and sealingly fitted onto the nasal cannula.
