Abstract: An oxygen mask may include a convex shell having an upper portion and a lower portion and defining a chamber, a rim at least partially around the chamber, a nasal access port in the upper portion, and an oral access port in the lower portion. The nasal access port that is penetratable and/or puncturable to provide access to the chamber, and the oral access port may include a bite block defining a lumen and a valve in the lumen. The oxygen mask may include an inlet into the chamber, an outlet from the chamber, and a sampling port in communication with the chamber. The oxygen mask may include at least one fold or crease configured to allow the bite block to tilt relative to the horizontal axis and/or to translate along the vertical axis.

Abstract: Apparatus (2) for use with a laryngeal mask airway device (4), wherein the apparatus is configured to collect regurgitated fluid from a patient during use of the laryngeal mask airway device, wherein the apparatus is adapted for attachment to a gastric port (8) provided on the laryngeal mask airway device.

Abstract: An artificial airway device 1 to facilitate lung ventilation of a patient, comprising an airway tube 2 including a lumen 3, a mask 4 at one end of the airway tube, the mask including a backplate 5 and having a peripheral formation 6 capable of forming a seal around the circumference of the laryngeal inlet, the peripheral formation surrounding a hollow interior space or lumen 7 of the mask and the airway tube 2 opening into the lumen of the mask 4, and a connector 8 disposed at the proximal end of the airway tube, the connector including a main bore 9 for passage of gas to the airway tube lumen 3, and a wall 10 defining a circumference and including a plurality of ports 12 to allow passage of gas to the main bore, at least one port 12 being disposed for circumferential rotational movement relative to the main bore 9.

Abstract: An artificial airway device to facilitate lung ventilation of a patient. The device includes an airway tube including a lumen, a mask at one end of the airway tube. The mask includes a backplate and having a peripheral formation capable of forming a seal around the circumference of the laryngeal inlet. The peripheral formation surrounding a hollow interior space or lumen of the mask and the airway tube opening into the lumen of the mask. The device further includes fixation structure for fixation of the device to a patient when the device is in use. The fixation structure is movable with respect to the airway tube to allow for correct positioning of the device with respect to the anatomy of the patient.
