A universal respiratory detector for detecting a respiratory gas. The universal respiratory detector may include a plurality of layers with a visual indicator to quickly and reversibly change color to detect a respiratory gas parameter such as carbon dioxide. The color change may be visible from both sides of the detector. In some examples, the respiratory detector may be a biocompatible and conformable sticker for mounting on a person's face or an oxygen delivery device.

A respiratory mask includes a mask body having a face-engaging portion, and at least one retaining member connected to the mask body and including at least one engaging member for receiving and tethering a liner to the respiratory mask to generally overlie the face-engaging portion. The retaining member may include a flexible elongated body having a central portion and opposing ends, and a bottom surface arranged to be attached to the respiratory mask. The liner may include a liner body constructed from an absorbent material and having an outer edge, an inner edge, and an opening bounded by the inner edge, wherein an extending portion of the liner body is defined which extends outwardly beyond the face-engaging portion and includes at least one aperture for engaging the retaining member. A kit for use with a respiratory mask includes at least one liner and at least one retaining member.

A tracheostoma device holder (10) for holding a tracheostoma device to a tracheostoma of a person is provided. The tracheostoma device holder (10) comprises a head portion (50) for engaging with a tracheostoma device and a fixation portion (20) for fixating the tracheostoma device holder (10) to the tracheostoma of the person. At least a portion of the fixation portion (20) is provided with a deformable material (60).

A medical securement device for use in securing a medical tube to a patient. The securement device includes a flat base having a top surface, a bottom surface configured to contact a skin surface of the patient, and a central circular opening formed in the flat base. The securement device further includes a cylindrical wall with an outer surface, an inner surface configured for placement adjacent the medical tube, a bottom end surrounding the central circular opening, a top end located opposite the bottom end. Adhesive is provided on the inner surface of the cylindrical wall and is configured to fix the medical tube at a selected position within the cylindrical wall such that a selected length of the medical tube extends below the bottom surface of the flat base.

A tracheostomy collar is described herein having a number of features providing ease of use in caring for a tracheostomy and securing a tracheostomy tube inserted therein.

The present invention provides an improved visual laryngeal mask comprising a snorkel, an end of the snorkel is provided with a fixing seat. The fixing seat is provided with an airbag, and the fixing seat has a recess which is provided with an airway opening. The inner wall of the snorkel longitudinally extends an imaging cavity and a cleaning channel. The imaging cavity has a built-in imaging device, and the imaging cavity and the cleaning channel protrude forward relative to the airway opening to form a stopper which prevents an epiglottis from blocking the imaging device.

A laryngoscope for orotracheal intubation, includes a tubular body that serves as a guide for an endotracheal tube. The tubular body has an adjustable head which is inserted into the pharynx through the mouth following the anatomical curvature until it reaches the larynx and vocal cords. The head may be equipped with a lighting and display system that can be connected to an external screen. The head can be oriented by means of actuators so that it can be directed towards the entrance to the airways,

A shielded intubation guide for use in an endotracheal intubation procedure, the shielded intubation guide including: an elongate body defining a passageway extending between a proximal opening and a distal opening for receiving a blade portion of an intubation device, the shielded intubation guide being configured for insertion into a mouth of the subject so that the proximal opening is positioned proximate to the mouth and the distal opening is positioned in an airway of the subject; and a shield around the proximal opening for substantially reducing emissions from the mouth, the shielded intubation guide allowing endotracheal intubation to be performed by: inserting the blade portion of the intubation device into the passageway; positioning a distal end of the blade portion proximate to the larynx of the subject; and advancing an endotracheal tube along the blade portion through the passageway into a trachea of the subject.

The present invention provides an improved visual laryngeal mask comprising a tube, an end of the tube is provided with a fixing seat. The fixing seat is provided with an airbag, and the fixing seat has a recess which is provided with an airway opening. An imaging cavity extends longitudinally inside an inner wall of the tube. The imaging cavity has a built-in imaging device, and the imaging cavity protrudes forward relative to the airway opening to form a stopper which prevents an epiglottis from blocking the imaging device. A front end of the stopper is concaved to form a recess, and an opening of the imaging cavity is located at a low point of the recess.

The invention relates to a device for the dynamically adapting sealing of an organ or a body cavity, e.g. the windpipe (trachea) of an intubated and ventilated patient, wherein the sealing balloon element is produced via particularly rapid shifting of filling medium from an extracorporeal reservoir or an extracorporeal source to the sealing balloon, and wherein, in the dynamic sealing of the trachea according to the example case, a balloon-type foil body preferably formed with residual material in the diameter, i.e. exceeding the tracheal diameter, is in contact with the inner wall of the trachea in a sealing manner and with a pressure that is as constant as possible, wherein fluctuations in the balloon volume, caused by fluctuations in the intrathoracic pressure relating to the mechanics of breathing, are compensated as quickly as possible by supplying volume from an extracorporeal reservoir or an extracorporeal source, and the tracheal secretion sealing of the balloon is thereby kept continuous. This is both made possible by a sufficiently high-volume supply of the balloon filling medium to the cuff, and also prevents steps, gaps or ridges in the supply system, whereby volume flow directed towards the balloon can be minimised, which is crucial for a rapid-as-possible stabilising of the filling volume in the balloon, in particular with small pressure differences between 15 and 30 mbar that are driving the volume flow.
