Abstract: A tubing and cable organizing device that has a main body attachable to a substrate, such as a surface, a wall, a rail, and IV pole or similarly situated surface in a medical treatment area. The organizing device having one or more bendable and non-resilient appendages extending away from the main body and configured for holding or supporting tubing and cables in a medical treatment area. The main body and appendages being covered in an elastic coating that is capable of being formed into decorative shapes or decorative colors.

Abstract: A nasal cannula system for use in ventilator systems, particularly continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) systems. The nasal cannula system has a nasal body with nare prongs that extend into a patient's nostrils when worn. The ventilator system includes a ventilator on an inhalation side and either a bubble chamber or a variable resistance valve on the exhalation side. The inhalation side may include a heater/humidifier in-line with the supply tube so as to treat the air before application. The airway tube may have a generally semi-circular cross-section so as to provide a flat exterior surface for abutment or contact with a patient's skin.

Abstract: A nasal cannula system having nasal prongs with an ancillary delivery system for a treatment fluid into a patient wearing the nasal cannula without removing the cannula. The nasal prongs have parallel ports that fluidly connect the delivery system to the nasal ports on the nasal prongs. The delivery system provides the treatment fluid in an aerosolized form. This configuration combines the aerosolized treatment fluid with the air or other fluid ordinarily delivered by the nasal cannula. The system may also use airway tubes having a generally semi-circular cross-section with an internal rib extending the length of the tube. The semi-circular cross-section provides a flat exterior surface for abutment or contact with a patient's skin and the rib prevents pinching closure of the airway tube.

Abstract: A wearable suction catheter that can be used without clinician control. The suction catheter attaches on or near the patient with a patient interface configured for the shape of the nose, mouth or tracheostomy tube. The patient interface includes at least two radial duct openings and each end of the interface is connected to airway tubing ending in a wye. The wye end of the catheter includes a cleaning access port and is attached to a suction source that provides continuous or intermittent suction.

Abstract: A gas supply tube for use in medical settings for the supply of gas to a patient. The airway tube has a generally semi-circular cross-section so as to provide a flat exterior surface for abutment or contact with a patient's skin. A nasal cannula system is constructed using the gas supply tube has a nasal body with cannula configured for insertion into nasal openings of a patient. The nasal body is connected to one or more gas supply or airway tubes. Both the nasal body and the airway tubes have a semi-circular cross-section. The other end of the airway tube(s) is connected to one or more supply adapters having ports matching the semi-circular cross-section. A surface retainer with a clamp having a semi-circular cross-section may adhere the airway tube to a patient's skin.

Abstract: A multi-purpose medical suctioning device, comprising a first tubular body portion, a second tubular portion operatively connected to said first tubular body portion, said second tubular portion having a flexible tip portion which has an entrance of reduced area, there being a side inlet associated with at least one of said first and second portion, to be manually blocked and unblocked to control suctioning of fluid from said tip portion entrance and through said second and first tubular portion.

Abstract: A sensor device in the form of a substantially flat package for receiving and transmitting signals, to be monitored and/or recorded, comprising, in combination a first layer in the form of an annulus having an undersurface to adhere to the skin of a patient; a second layer in the form of a conductive sensing layer peripherally bounded by the first layer and having an undersurface adapted for contact with the skin of the patient; a conductive terminal extending above the second layer in adjacent and conductive relation therewith; a protector extending in shallow dome configuration over the first and second layers and over the terminal; and a conductive lead extending over edges defined by the first and second terminals, and under the protector, for protected contact with the terminal, and to transmit signals for monitoring or recording.
