Abstract: A bracket for mounting a portable aspirator to a wall. The bracket allows easy securing and removing of the aspirator with one hand in emergency situations. The bracket will also secure the aspirator against a 10 G loading force. Electrical leads on both the aspirator and the bracket allow the aspirator to charge when secured.

Abstract: A suction catheter having an elongated flexible hollow member and a spoon-shaped distal end designated to assist manual removal of large airway occluding particles from the oropharynx and mouth opening to near the epiglottis of a patient by an emergency caregiver. The tip of the spoon-shaped distal end defines an ovular orifice of sufficient size to remove both viscous and non-viscous matter including matter from the airway of the patient for conveyance through the hollow member. The catheter includes a flexible stylet member therein to permit bending of the catheter and causing it to retain its bent shape with the proximal end thereof away from the patient. An opening is provided in the catheter and communicates with internal airway for use in controlling the amount of suction provided by the connection of the proximal end of the catheter to a vacuum source.

Abstract: A portable aspirator having a rigid lightweight housing fabricated by rotational molding. The housing has a smooth outer surface to allow for the easy cleaning and disinfecting of human fluids, thereby preventing the spread of disease by blood-borne pathogens. A shelf, which can be attached an inner wall of an ambulance patient compartment, can secure the portable aspirator in position up to loadings of 25 g's. When secured into position, a battery recharging circuit is completed allowing for the recharge of the portable aspirator batteries.
