Abstract: A splint device (100) co-operable with a guidance system of a robot is provided. In some aspects, a splint body (200) is fixedly coupled to a first object (102) disposed within a pliable housing (104) defining an opening. The splint body includes a laterally-extending medial portion (202) having opposed lateral sides (204, 206), and first and second stabilizing portions (208, 210) extending therefrom and extending about and affixed to the first object. In some aspects, the splint body includes a retractor (300) having a first portion (302) coupled to the splint body, and a second portion (304) extending away from the splint body and engaging the pliable housing about the opening to retract and maintain the pliable housing away from the first object, such that the first object is accessible through the opening, and/or a spacer (400) engaged with the splint body and cooperating with the splint body to separate a second object (106) from the first object within the pliable housing.

Abstract: Nasal tracheal devices include a tube with visual indicia of insertion depth corresponding to patient height and an inflatable cuff. The tube comprises or provides a plurality of lumens that are in fluid isolation including an airpath lumen and a pressurized fluid source for inflating the cuff. The devices may also be configured to suction patient fluid from a location adjacent and/or above the cuff.
