Abstract: Devices are disclosed that include a positionable elongated member configured to support a delivery tube and maintain a distal end of the tube in a desired position and directional orientation, and to allow the position and orientation of the distal end of the tube to be adjusted by a user. The devices include a multi-segment elongated member configured to support a delivery tube and maintain a distal end of the tube in a desired position and orientation, and a multi-axis joint assembly disposed between segments of the elongated member to allow articulated relative movement of the segments. These devices may be used, for example, in the delivery of vaporized medicine to a patient, e.g., a child or infant on a bed.
