Abstract: A dual suction tube that includes a lower section, an upper section, and a transitional zone. The lower section includes at least one eyelet disposed at a distal end of the lower section. The upper section includes at least one port configured to be connected to a vacuum source. The transitional zone is between the lower section and the upper section, and has a first cross-sectional area at a proximal end of the transitional zone and a second cross-sectional area at a distal end of the transitional zone. The first cross-sectional area is greater than the second cross-sectional area.

Abstract: Airway devices, systems, and methods are provided that can achieve ventilation of lungs through a mask that seals around the glottis and connects to a flexible airway channel, while also providing evacuation of gastric and/or pharyngeal body fluid and/or blood during upper airway surgeries or procedures.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and apparatuses related to a bronchial isolation tube, a laryngeal mask or similar device, and/or adapters and connectors for use with the same, as well as methods for using the same. In an exemplary airway device, the device may comprise a mask portion being defined at a distal end of the airway device, and may be configured and dimensioned to be positioned in a hypopharyngeal area of a patient to cover and seal around a glottis of the patient; and a channel portion extending from a proximal end of the airway device to the mask portion. The channel portion may include first and second channels, wherein the second channel may obliquely merge with the first channel proximate to an opening of the first channel. In an exemplary embodiment, a third channel may form a combined pharyngeal-gastric access channel.
