  • Publication number: 20240416062
    Abstract: A capnography mask includes a mask body having a cover portion configured to cover at least the nostrils of a patient's nose and forms a breathing cavity for inhalation of inflow gas and exhalation of expired gas. The mask also includes an inflow port fluidly connected to the breathing cavity for delivering the inflow gas to the breathing cavity, an outflow port fluidly connected to the breathing cavity for delivering the expired gas out of the breathing cavity, and a capnography port fluidly connected to the breathing cavity for delivering a sample of the expired gas to a capnography machine. The inflow, outflow and capnography ports may be unitarily formed by respective portions of the mask body to form a unitary mask structure. The ports may include respective tube segments that may cooperate with respective ribs to distribute load away from the alar fibrofatty tissue of the patient's nose, thereby improving comfort.

  • Patent number: 11548710
    Abstract: A break-open single-dose package includes a panel defining a frangible region, one or more sheets coupled to the panel and defining a pocket therebetween for storing a spreadable consumable, and an applicator. The frangible region is adapted to form an opening through which the spreadable consumable can exit in response to folding of the panel. The applicator includes a backing and a vessel extending from the backing. The vessel defines a channel for receiving any spreadable consumable that exits the pocket. The applicator is positioned adjacent to the frangible region for permitting a user to spread on a surface any spreadable consumable that exits the pocket using the applicator without requiring the user's hand(s) to contact the spreadable consumable. The backing is configured to move with the panel and separate from the vessel in response to folding of the panel. Other example packages and/or applicators are also disclosed.
