US Patent:

6398266, Jun 4, 2002

Filed:

Sep 22, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/401397

Inventors:

Chet M. Crump - Draper UT

Assignee:

Ballard Medical Products - Draper UT

International Classification:

F16L 2100

US Classification:

285226, 285423, 138121

Abstract:

A popoid connector for use with other medical devices such as tracheal tubes, intubation tubes and aspiration and ventilation systems comprises a plurality of saucer shaped members each having a first portion and a second portion to form a corrugated portion along the connector. On side of each of the saucer shaped members is provide with at least one circumscribing reinforcing rib to provide additional structural support for the popoid connector. The reinforcing ribs are integrally formed with the popoid connector. The reinforcing ribs inhibit transverse collapsing of the popoid connector add rigidity to the popoid connector when the popoid connector is in a bent position.

Appl. No.:

09/471317

Inventors:

Chet M. Crump - Draper UT

Assignee:

Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc. - Neenah WI

International Classification:

A61M 1600

US Classification:

12820714, 12820716

Abstract:

An improved respiratory suction apparatus catheter comprising a manifold for attachment to the distal hub of an endotracheal tube to form a ventilation circuit, a catheter tube which is displaceable through the manifold and into the endotracheal tube to suction secretions from the tube and lungs, and at least one wiper seal disposed adjacent the ventilation circuit to minimize the draw of air from the ventilation circuit of a patient while the catheter is being cleaned. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the catheter is cleaned more thoroughly than in the prior art while simultaneously drawing little or no air from the patients ventilation circuit, thus extending the usable duration of the catheter apparatus. Another preferred embodiment comprises a valve, most preferably a flap valve distal of the wiper seal within the manifold, improves the cleaning of the catheter by selectively restricting or occluding the retracted catheter.

International Classification:

A61M 1600

US Classification:

12820714, 12820512, 12820519, 604 35, 604118, 604264, 604538, 604539

Abstract:

An endotracheal suction catheter apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a distal end that is configured for allowing a catheter to be moved through the distal end and into the respiratory tract of a patient. The distal end defines a cleaning chamber where the catheter may be cleaned. A flap is located in the distal end and is located on one end of the cleaning chamber. The flap effects fluid flow within the cleaning chamber during cleaning of the catheter. A connection member is present and is attached to the distal end. The connection member is configured for releasably engaging a heat and moisture exchanger so that the catheter may be advanced through the distal end into the heat and moisture exchanger.

International Classification:

A61M 100

US Classification:

604 27, 604267, 12820729

Abstract:

A method and apparatus are provided for cleaning a medical device tube, for example a catheter tube. The distal end portion of the tube has a distal opening and at least one side opening adjacent to the distal opening. The distal end of the tube is disposed in a closed chamber with the distal opening generally opposite from a first orifice defined in the chamber. A liquid is introduced into the chamber and is drawn into the distal opening in the tube, for example by a suction force. A different fluid medium, such as air, is drawn through the first orifice and into the distal opening in the tube. A turbulent flow path is established with the fluid medium wherein the medium is drawn through the first orifice, into the distal opening in the tube, out the side opening in the tube, and back into the distal opening in the tube. This turbulent flow path enhances the cleaning action of the liquid introduced into the chamber for cleaning the distal end portion of the tube within the chamber.

International Classification:

A61M 1600

US Classification:

12820714, 12820519

Abstract:

An adaptor is used to connect a closed suction catheter assembly to an artificial airway, such as a tracheostomy tube. The adaptor includes a housing, the internal chamber of which includes structure to allow a patient to breathe through the adaptor when attached to artificial airway. The adaptor may further contain a release assembly for separating the housing of the adaptor from the tracheostomy tube.
