  • Publication number: 20140163325
    Abstract: The disclosure is of a device used for dislodging an object occluding the upper trachea of a human choking on that object, the method of use, and the method of manufacturing the device itself. The device is a mouthpiece comprising three main parts, namely a mouth cover, a hollow tongue depressor and an attached nose clamp. The mouth cover provides a nozzle in fluid communication with the hollow tongue depressor, and the nozzle is adapted to be connected to a vacuum generator. The hollow tongue depressor is adapted to be inserted into the choking human's mouth and to deliver a vacuum differential generated by the vacuum generator and transmitted through the nozzle to the mouth cavity of the human through the hollow tongue depressor. The mouth cover is used to create a closed system by sealing the mouth and lips of the choking human and thereby create the pressure differential in the upper trachea of the choking human when a vacuum is generated. The nose clamp is used to complete the closed system.
