  • Patent number: 7093598
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method of use that will allow a medical professional to change a patient's Tracheostomy dressing in an efficient manner that will cut down both the professional's and patient's discomfort. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the device has a body that includes a handle, a shoulder and two prongs, however, the handle is optional. The entire lower surface of the body has a concave curve in one embodiment. The handle extends and ends at the shoulder. On the end of the shoulder, extending away from the shoulder, and curving in an upward direction relative to the shoulder, are the two prongs. The prongs are parallel to one another and form a ā€œUā€-shape, the distance of which is wider than the distance of the diameter of a trach tube. The prongs are designed to fit within the trach drainage sponge. This allows the user of the device to insert the sponge in a simple, smooth manner.
