  • Patent number: 11744975
    Abstract: Methods of manufacturing a mask include: providing a shell having an inlet formed on a body of the shell and a flange formed around a lower end of the body, the flange forming a surface on a bottom thereof; providing a first film substrate; providing a second film substrate; bonding the first film substrate to the second film substrate around an outer edge and around an inner edge shaped to fit around a nose and mouth of a patient; cutting the first film substrate and the second film substrate around the outer edge and the inner edge of the first film substrate and the second film substrate. The bonded and cut first film substrate and second film substrate form a first sheet that is joined to a second sheet. The shell is joined to the first sheet at the surface formed on the bottom of the flange.

  • Patent number: 8393324
    Abstract: The present invention provides a symmetrical face mask suitable for use with one hand that allows an operator to provide a reliable seal with the patient's face with his/her hand and arm in an anatomically favorable position for application of a user's physical strength. In general, a user may reach at an acute angle to the plane of their chest and engage the invention mask with their hand in a manner the user may shake another person's hand, i.e., with a distal portion of their radius and ulna arranged essentially vertically so that side to side motion of the hand translates to forward and rearward motion of a mask shell while a user reserves full bi-directional rotational capability of their arm for forward or rearward rotation compression of the mask shell while, at the same time, reserving full and lever-efficient, bi-directional pushing and pulling range of a user's arm for greater pressure of the mask shell to a right or left side of a user's fleshy cheek.

  • Publication number: 20030213493
    Abstract: The present invention is a sealing piece that can releaseably form a seal around the outside surface of a naso-gastric tube, the sealing piece being adapted to be sealingly supported from a surface having a hole at least the diameter of a distal end of a naso-gastric tube. In a specific embodiment, an elastomer sealing piece has a hole about the diameter of or just smaller than the diameter of a naso-gastric tube or other feeding tube and the sealing piece has a continuous slit from the hole to an outside edge. The slit is adapted to permit the sealing piece to be pulled apart at least enough so that the tube part of a naso-gastric tube may be sealingly located in the hole or removed from it. In operation, the invention would permit the patient having an appropriately inserted naso-gastric tube to threat the distal end of the naso-gastric tube to an access location external to a pressurized ventilation environment, i.e., a ventilation or anesthesia mask and associated gas tubing and access ports.
