Publication number: 20230381484Abstract: In an embodiment, a connector or connector assembly for attaching a nasal cannula with a gas delivery hose includes a sensor port for a sensor probe positioned near an end of a nasal cannula, which can allow the sensor probe to be placed closer to the patient's nostrils than previous connector parts allowed. The connector can be configured to advantageously allow the nasal cannula to rotate relative to the gas delivery hose, thereby allowing a patient or healthcare provider to untangle or otherwise straighten the hose or the cannula. The connector assembly can be configured to automatically align locking protrusions on a first component with locking recesses on a second component, where insertion of the second component within the first component causes the second component to rotate relative to the first component, thereby aligning the locking protrusions with associated locking recesses.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 22, 2023Publication date: November 30, 2023Inventors: Laurence Gulliver, Michael Paul Ronayne, Charles William Douglas Irving

Publication number: 20220362503Abstract: Medical breathing tubes have a tubular body that defines a lumen extending between open terminal ends of the tubular body. An internal form is enclosed within the lumen and supportive of the tubular body. The internal form may be a coated encapsulated internal form where the coating secures the internal form to the tubular body. The internal form may provide for a series of alternative crests and troughs of the tubular body. A patient interface and/or a securement system may be attached to the tubular body.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2022Publication date: November 17, 2022Inventors: Mark Thomas O'Connor, Jimmy Edward Eaton-Evans, Neil Gray Duthie, Brent Ian Laing, Steven Charles Korner, Laurence Gulliver, Puqing Zhang, Andrew Grant Niccol, Charles William Douglas Irving, Craig Karl White, Caroline Geraldine Hopkins, Michael Paul Ronayne, Callum James Thomas Spence

Publication number: 20200054851Abstract: This invention relates to a headgear component as a part of a headgear. The component comprising a backstrap, a first ear loop extending from one end of the backstrap, the first ear loop following a path defining a first ear opening, and a second ear loop extending from another end of the backstrap, the second ear loop following a path defining a second ear opening. A first pair of connection zones is on the first ear loop, each connection zone spaced an equal distance from the backstrap and spaced from each other, and a second pair of connection zones on the second ear loop, each connection zone spaced an equal distance apart from the backstrap and spaced from each other. A connection zone of the first pair and a connection zone of the second pair are on a first side of the backstrap, and a connection zone of the first pair and a connection zone of the second pair are on a second (other) side of the backstrap, wherein the headgear component is substantially of a symmetrical shape.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2019Publication date: February 20, 2020Inventors: Laurence Gulliver, Michael Paul Ronayne, Charles William Douglas Irving
