Appl. No.:

8/660797

Inventors:

Stephen W. Briggs - Orangevale CA

International Classification:

A61M 1600

US Classification:

12820714

Abstract:

The improved endotracheal bite block includes an elongated bite tube having a central endotracheal tube-receiving cavity extending therethrough to the front and rear ends of the bite tube. The bite tube is relatively inflexible and has an elongated post extending rearwardly thereof. The post has a strap-receiving slot therein and a rear retaining wall extending laterally outwardly for releasably holding an adhesive strip in place on the bite block, which tape also is used to hold an endotracheal tube against the bite block. The bite block further includes an elongated flexible strap with a strap retainer at one end and an opposite free end which can be passed through the slot and around an endotracheal tube and then can be cinched up to anchor the endotracheal tube and bite block together. Preferably, the bite tube is C-shaped in cross-section and single walled. One embodiment includes the bite block abutting a strip of adhesive tape wound around the endotracheal tube adjacent the front end thereof and with the strap cinched over the adhesive strip.

Assignee:

B & B Medical Technologies, Inc. - Orangevale CA

International Classification:

A61L 218

US Classification:

422300

Abstract:

The improved device is used in the present method for cleansing the head of a stethoscope with an antimicrobial spray liquid. The device includes a housing which defines a generally central cavity in which an aerosol spray cannister is releasably disposed in a bracket. The housing is closed but is openable in order to replace the cannister, as needed. The housing includes an openable port, such as an elastomeric iris, through which the head of a stethoscope, in accordance with the present method, is inserted for cleansing in the cavity. The cannister has a spray nozzle which is activatable by a trigger in the form of a lever secured in the cavity and extending out of the housing. The lever is disposed above the nozzle and can be manually moved from outside the housing to depress the nozzle and cause antimicrobial spray to be aerosol dispensed from the cannister in a path in the cavity which the stethoscope head intersects. The housing cavity can include a drip plate and one or more baffles to prevent the spray from exiting through the stethoscope port and to direct the spray to a drain area in the housing. The device can be suspended from a wall by screws or the like.

Appl. No.:

9/078736

Inventors:

Stephen W. Briggs - Orangevale CA

International Classification:

A61M 1600

US Classification:

12820021

Abstract:

The improved medical nebulization device includes a head and a removeable depending liquid reservoir. The head has a closed top, closed sides and open bottom defining a central space in which is secured a nebulization chamber having closed sides and an open top and open bottom. A nebulization baffle is connected to the head top and extends into the nebulization chamber. A liquid draw tube is connected to the baffle and depends from the chamber into the reservoir. A nebulized aerosol output port extends between the space outside the chamber and a point peripheral of the head for supplying nebulized aerosol to a patient. An auxiliary multiple gas entrainment inlet port, with removeable cap, extends into the chamber at a point remote from the output port and is adapted to supply auxiliary gases such as a mixture of oxygen and helium. The liquid reservoir in one embodiment includes a graduated liquid measuring scale and is transparent. The baffle in one embodiment is an annular flow aerosol nozzle secured to the underside of the top of the head.

Inventors:

Stephen W. Briggs - Orangevale CA

International Classification:

A61M 1600
A62B 906

US Classification:

12820717

Abstract:

The improved endotracheal anti-disconnect device includes a flexible, resilent elongated patient neck band having a main body, the front surface of which bears a number of hook-receiving loops. The band has narrow opposite ends which form tabs, the front surfaces of which bear a number of hooks. With this arrangement the tabs can be passed through slots in the sides of an endotracheal tube bracket and then can be reflected rearwardly and connected by the hooks to the loops to releasably hold the bracket against the throat of a patient. The device also includes a ring assembly having a ring with a central space and to which ring are connected 4 connectors, which radiate therefrom. Two of the connectors are in the form of wings which are disposed horizontally and are elongated. The wings bear a number of hooks on their inner surfaces so that the ring can be pulled against the bracket and connected by the wings to the front surface of the neck band. The ring fits over the front-to-rear portion of an endotracheal tube, holding that portion securely in place.
