  • Patent number: 9232976
    Abstract: A magnetic drape comprises a drape body made of a flexible material. The drape body has a panel portion having an undersurface adapted to be laid on an uneven body and a top surface, and a given thickness between the undersurface and the top surface. A plurality of magnet units are within the flexible material of the drape body, with each said magnet unit comprising a shielding material in the shape of a cup oriented to have a bottom wall facing toward the undersurface of the drape body, and a magnet received at least partially in the cup. The magnet comprises two or more sections arranged to expose opposite polarity on a top surface of the magnetic drape, with each said section having opposite polarities oriented vertically.

  • Publication number: 20090056721
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a respiratory apparatus that acts as a system for pre-oxygenation of a patient and for the opening of respiratory pathways of a patient. The apparatus includes a mouthpiece having a shield that is inserted in the mouth of the patient. The mouthpiece also includes an outer tubular member for receiving a universal connector which can be connected to an anesthetic device. The shield has an inner side opening which leads to the inside of the tubular member. This opening is configured to receive a connector mounted to a tracheal tube. The tracheal tube is placed within the patient. The universal connector and the tracheal connector are put into mutual fluid communication within the tubular member thereby providing gaseous fluid to flow from the universal connector to the tracheal tube which is in fluid communication with the patient's trachea. The shield also includes teeth abutments or bite members which are to be abutted by the teeth of the patient in order to keep their mouth open.
