Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An airway device for human or animal use includes an airway tube having a first end and a second end, the first end of which is surrounded by a laryngeal cuff configured to fit over the laryngeal inlet of a patient when in situ. The first end of the airway tube is provided with an intubating ramp configured to direct a tube inserted through the airway tube into the laryngeal inlet of the patient when in situ.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . An airway device for human or animal use comprising an airway tube having a first end and a second end, the first end of which is surrounded by a laryngeal cuff configured to fit over the laryngeal inlet of a patient when in situ, wherein the first end of the airway tube is provided with an intubating ramp configured to direct a tube inserted through the airway tube into the laryngeal inlet of the patient when in situ wherein the intubating ramp is provided with a groove which runs longitudinally along the full length of the intubating ramp from the first end to the second end of the longitudinal ramp. 2 . The airway device as claimed in claim 1 wherein the intubating ramp is provided on the internal wall of the dorsal side of the airway tube. 3 . The airway device as claimed in claim 1 wherein the first end of the airway tube is of greater diameter than the remainder of the airway tube. 4 . The airway device as claimed in claim 1 wherein the internal wall of the ventral side of the airway tube is flattened. 5 . The airway device as claimed in claim 1 wherein the intubating ramp is provided with a plurality of grooves. 6 . The airway device as claimed in claim 1 wherein the tip of the laryngeal cuff is elongate. 7 . The airway device as claimed in claim 1 wherein the tip of the laryngeal cuff is provided with a protrusion on the back dorsal side thereof. 8 . The airway device as claimed in claim 1 wherein a side wall of the second end of the airway tube is provided with a supplementary gas inlet. 9 . The airway device as claimed in claim 1 wherein the first end of the airway tube is of widened diameter or flared. 10 . The airway device as claimed in claim 2 wherein the first end of the airway tube is of greater diameter than the remainder of the airway tube. 11 . The airway device as claimed in claim 2 wherein the internal wall of the ventral side of the airway tube is flattened. 12 . The airway device as claimed in claim 2 wherein the intubating ramp is provided with a plurality of grooves. 13 . The airway device as claimed in claim 2 wherein the tip of the laryngeal cuff is elongate. 14 . The airway device as claimed in claim 2 wherein the tip of the laryngeal cuff is provided with a protrusion on the back dorsal side thereof. 15 . The airway device as claimed in claim 2 wherein a side wall of the second end of the airway tube is provided with a supplementary gas inlet. 16 . The airway device as claimed in claim 3 wherein the first end of the airway tube is of widened diameter or flared. 17 . The airway device as claimed in claim 3 wherein the internal wall of the ventral side of the airway tube is flattened. 18 . The airway device as claimed in claim 3 wherein the intubating ramp is provided with a plurality of grooves. 19 . The airway device as claimed in claim 3 wherein the tip of the laryngeal cuff is elongate. 20 . The airway device as claimed in claim 3 wherein the tip of the laryngeal cuff is provided with a protrusion on the back dorsal side thereof.
