Device for securing a nasal cannula
A device for securing a nasal cannula to a patient includes a pair of opposing legs having a predefined opening therebetween and a clip secured to an opposite end of the pair of opposing legs. The pair of opposing legs are configured to slide over a nasal septum and are biased together to provide compression as the pair of legs are moved apart when sliding over the nasal septum. The clip has an opening configured to secure the device to a tube. Alternatively, a device for securing a nasal cannula to a patient includes an adhesive strip configured to be releasably attached to columella of the nasal septum and a clip secured to the adhesive strip and the clip has an opening configured to secure the device to a tube.
SINUS DILATION CATHETER WITH ULTRASONIC IMAGING FEATURE
A dilation instrument and method of imaging an anatomy within a patient includes a dilation catheter having a catheter body, a fluid conduit extending along the catheter body, a dilator, and at least one ultrasonic transducer. The catheter body is configured to distally extend from an instrument body and move relative to the instrument body. The dilator is connected to the catheter body in fluid communication with the fluid conduit and configured to receive a fluid from the fluid conduit and thereby inflate from a contracted state to an expanded state. The at least one ultrasonic transducer positioned on the catheter body and configured to electrically connect to an ultrasonic generator. The at least one ultrasonic transducer is configured to emit a source ultrasonic signal toward an anatomy within a patient for producing a diagnostic or a therapeutic effect.
Nasal Cannula Clamping and Patient Monitoring System
A nasal cannula clamping system which holds a nasal cannula in position on a patient. The nasal cannula clamping system includes a nasal cannula clamp assembly having a clamp body and a clamp block grasping nasal cannula tubes in two non-round parallel passages/grooves which securely clamps the two tubes under the chin while not compromising the distribution of medication prescribed by the attending physician. The nasal cannula tubes are sandwiched between the clamp body and clamp block which also contains the non-round parallel passages/grooves.
LARGE BORE NASOGASTRIC TUBE HOLDER
A large bore patient's nasogastric tube holder is disclosed. The holder is fabricated from a heavy duty elasticized fabric having a high tack synthetic rubber adhesive backing covered with Kraft release liners. The holder comprises an adhesive backed upper nose base portion, a central bridge portion, and a singular lower tube securement tab. The central bridge portion also having a non-absorbent rear surface area including a cushioned structurally supportive pad preventing nasal acquired pressure injury (NAPI). The bridge portion extending into a sideways connector portion which positions the singular lower tube securement tab alongside and parallel to a tube exiting a patient's nare. The lower tube securement tab providing a secure spiral wrap around the tube to keep the tube centered within a patient's nare to prevent twisting and torquing of the tube and nasal irritation.
Fixing device for nasogastric tube
A fixing device of a nasogastric tube contains: an adhesion member, a connection member, and a retainer. The adhesion member includes an adhesive face, a circular column, and an engagement portion. The connection member includes a connecting sheet, a locating post, and a spherical portion. The connecting sheet has a rectangular slot and an annular orifice, such that the annular orifice accommodates the engagement portion of the adhesion member, the rectangular slot slidably receives the circular column of the adhesion member, an end of the connecting sheet proximate to the annular orifice is connected with the locating post, and the other end of the locating post is connected with the spherical portion. The retainer includes a coupling bar and a joining knob. The retainer further includes a clamp section and two press portions. Furthermore, the clamp section has a hollowly circular space defined therein.
MEDICAMENT DELIVERY DEVICE AND METHOD
A medicament delivery device is provided having an oral tubular section for placement in the mouth of a user and a nasal tubular section for placement in the naris of a user. A medicament located in a corrugated, or flexible, section joining the oral tubular section and the nasal tubular section is dispersed into the nasal cavity of the user by blowing into the oral tubular section. A pinch valve or a one way valve is used to prevent the user from accidentally inhaling the medicament. The medicament delivery device may also be used as a pulmonary delivery device into the mouth of a user.

Nasogastric Tube Securement Systems and Methods of Using Same
A nasogastric tube securement system. The system can include a base layer and a coupling layer. The base layer can be configured to be adhered to a nose, having a first major surface comprisng a skin-contact adhesive and a second major surface opposite the first major surface. The coupling layer can include a first end comprising coupling means configured to be repositionably coupled to the second major surface of the base layer, a second end configured to secure a nasogastric tube, and a middle section connecting the first end and the second end. The middle section can be elongated along a longitudinal direction, and the second end can include at least two legs extending downwardly from the first end, each leg separated from an adjacent leg by an acute angle.
