  • Patent number: 7451766
    Abstract: An enhanced breathing device for use in a mouth of a user is provided that includes a flexible hollow tube having a proximal end, a distal end, an outer perimeter. The tube also includes an extraoral segment, and intraoral segment and an intermediate segment extending therebetween. The extraoral segment extends to the proximal end of the tube and includes at least one opening. The extraoral segment extends externally from the mouth of the user. The intraoral segment extends to the distal end of the tube and includes at least one opening. The intraoral segment extends into the mouth of the user and has a length sufficient for extending beyond a retromolar space, into the oropharynx and terminating between the posterior tongue and the soft palate. The intermediate segment has a length sufficient for extending along the buccopharyngeal pathway of the mouth of the user.

  • Publication number: 20040194787
    Abstract: An anti-snoring device is provided that includes a flexible hollow tube for insertion into the user's mouth, having proximal and distal ends and an outer perimeter. The tube includes an extraoral segment at its proximal end, an intraoral segment at its distal end and an intermediate segment extending therebetween. The extraoral and intraoral segments each include at least one opening. The extraoral segment is for extending beyond the user's outer lips, the intermediate segment is of a sufficient length for extending along the buccopharyngeal pathway of the user's mouth, and the intraoral segment is of a sufficient length for extending beyond a retromolar space in the user's mouth, into the oropharynx and terminating between the posterior tongue and the soft palate. The anti-snoring device also includes a stop extending from the outer perimeter of the tube on the intraoral segment for securing the intraoral segment within the user's oropharynx.
