A medical appliance for the treatment of one or more sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea in a patient, the appliance comprising: a biasing member for inserting behind and exerting a force upon the patient's soft palate or tongue, wherein the biasing member is inserted in a reduced or minimized form and then expanded or firms once in place to exert the force. The appliance may be nasally inserted or be placed through the mouth. In a particular configuration, both the soft palate and tongue are biased to prevent obstruction of the flow of air in the nasopharyngeal airway.

An assembly for modifying airflow into a nasopharyngeal airway or trachea of a patient. A valve assembly having an inlet and an outlet attaches to a traditional airflow generator. A valve seal within the assembly is operable by a solenoid and is adapted to cycle in response to a programmable controller circuit wherein upon activation of both the airflow generator and the controller circuit, pressurized air from the airflow generator continuously enters the inlet but passes out of the outlet of the assembly only when the solenoid causes the valve seal to retract and to at least partially unblock the outlet such that the pressurized air is converted into a single, repeatable burst exiting the outlet thereby modifying the traditional airflow.

An assembly for modifying airflow into a nasopharyngeal airway or trachea of a patient. A valve assembly is adapted to attach to an airflow generator. A linear actuator is signaled by the airflow. An inhalation valve is within the feed tube at the inlet. An exhalation valve is within the feed tube at the outlet, the exhalation valve adapted to slide axially within the feed tube and incrementally cover the outlet, moving in unison with the inhalation valve. A drive means operates the inhalation valve and the exhalation valve simultaneously such that upon sliding of the inhalation valve toward the mask side, the exhalation valve thereby slides towards the mask side, wherein upon activation of both the airflow generator and a controller circuit, pressurized air from the airflow generator continuously enters the feed tube but is converted to a single, repeatable burst.

The invention provides a lateral oxygen supply and sputum suction nasopharyngeal airway. The lateral oxygen supply and sputum suction nasopharyngeal airway comprises a nasopharyngeal airway tube, an oxygen supply and sputum suction extending tube and a built-in oxygen supply and sputum suction tube which is arranged inside the nasopharyngeal airway tube, wherein one end of the built-in oxygen supply and sputum suction tube is provided with an outlet of the built-in oxygen supply and sputum suction tube; the other end of the built-in oxygen supply and sputum suction tube is connected with one end of the oxygen supply and sputum suction extending tube through an externally arranged interface of the built-in oxygen supply and sputum suction tube; the other end of the oxygen supply and sputum suction extending tube is connected with one end of an oxygen supply and sputum suction joint; and the tube wall of the nasopharyngeal airway tube is internally wrapped by breaking prevention steel wires. The lateral oxygen supply and sputum suction nasopharyngeal airway has the advantages of having two functions of oxygen supply and sputum suction; ensuring sufficient oxygen supply and good oxygen inhalation effect during the oxygen supply; ensuring sufficient sputum suction, enabling a respiratory tract of a patient not to be stimulated and ensuring that the patient can breathe normally during the sputum suction; and guaranteeing that the nasopharyngeal airway tube is not deformed during insertion and after insertion of the lateral oxygen supply and sputum suction nasopharyngeal airway due to the wrapped breaking prevention steel wires and preventing complications caused by affected ventilation due to the previous pure soft plastic which is easy to break.

A UV light delivery device for performing intra-corporeal ultraviolet therapy is provided. The device includes an elongated body separated by a proximal end and a distal end. The device also includes a UV light source configured to be received at the receiving space. In some examples, the UV light source is configured to emit light with wavelengths with significant intensity between 320 nm and 410 nm and is utilized in conjunction with an endotracheal tube or a nasopharyngeal airway.

The invention discloses a pillow for relieving pediatric glossocoma after extubation, which comprises an upper cushion, a lower main body, a pillow height adjustment button, a pillow inclination angleadjustment mechanism, and pillow notches, the upper cushion is fixed on the lower main body, the pillow height adjustment button is connected to the pillow inclination angle adjustment mechanism, thepillow height adjustment button is located on one side of the lower main body, and the pillow notches are located on the front and rear sides of the upper cushion, the pillow can be effectively substituted for the cuffed oropharyngeal airway and the nasopharyngeal airway in the vast majority of cases, reducing various complications caused by using the cuffed oropharyngeal airway and the nasopharyngeal airway, moreover, the pillow is simple, convenient and easy to put into practice, and since the height and angle of the pillow can be adjusted, the pillow is suitable for various different individual children.

A nasopharyngeal airway with visual probe comprises a breather pipe, one end of the breather pipe is in threaded connection with a connector, and the other end of the breather pipe is provided with aconnecting rubber pipe; an exhaust notch is formed in the connecting part of the connecting rubber pipe and the breather pipe, a visual probe is in interference fit with the interior of one end of theconnecting rubber pipe, and a wire is electrically connected to the visual probe; compared with the prior art, according to the scheme, the breather pipe is inserted more smoothly through a visual structure, meanwhile, the situation of misoperation of a doctor is reduced, and the pain of a patient is relieved; the arranged limiting clamping ring can move conveniently, it is avoided that the limiting clamping ring directly sleeves the breather pipe and causes damage to a patient in the moving process, meanwhile, rapid limiting can be achieved after sliding, and the pain of the patient is relieved; according to the invention, a doctor can adjust the breather pipe by observing the display screen, so that the doctor can adjust the plugging length of the breather pipe in a targeted manner, andthe convenience and the practicability are improved.

The invention belongs to the technical field of intubation equipment, and discloses a nasopharynx breather pipe which is made of a soft rubber material. A fixing device is arranged at the exposed end of the nasopharynx breather pipe; the fixing device is used for fixing the nasopharynx breather pipe outside the nasal cavity. The front end of the nasopharynx breather pipe is beveled and blunt. The nasopharynx breather pipe is about 15 cm in length. The nasopharyngeal airway fixing device can fix the nasopharyngeal airway outside the nasal cavity, prevents the nasopharyngeal airway from sliding into the nasal cavity, guarantees the safety of a patient, can reduce the risk that the nasopharyngeal airway is easy to fall off or slide to the deep part of the respiratory tract in the use process, and is simple in structure, small in size and convenient to use. The nasopharyngeal airway solves the problem that the nasopharyngeal airway main body is not firmly fixed during use, and prevents the nasopharyngeal airway main body from loosening to cause friction between the outer sleeve and nasal cavity tissues, so that the damage to nasal cavity mucosa is reduced.

An assembly for modifying airflow into a nasopharyngeal airway of a patient. A valve assembly is adapted to attach to an airflow generator. A solenoid including a piston is mounted exterior to a feed tube. A butterfly valve is within the feed tube at the inlet. A pin is within the piston, and a shaft of the butterfly valve is bent to connect to the pin such that the solenoid can drive the butterfly valve. An exhalation valve is within the feed tube at the outlet, the exhalation valve adapted to slide axially within the feed tube and incrementally cover the outlet. Upon rotation of the butterfly valve, the exhalation valve thereby slides towards the mask side, wherein upon activation of both the airflow generator and a controller circuit, pressurized air from the airflow generator continuously enters the feed tube but is converted to a single, repeatable burst or rush.
