Nasal Oral Respiratory Interface
US Patent:
6810878, Nov 2, 2004
Filed:
Mar 18, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/391922
Inventors:
Charles Palmer - Hummelstown PA
Assignee:
The Penn State Research Foundation - University Park PA
International Classification:
A61M 1600
US Classification:
12820717, 12820714
Abstract:
The present invention provides an apparatus and a method for stabilizing at least one medical device such as a tracheal or gastric tube entering or covering at least one facial cavity such as the mouth and/or nose, taking advantage of a stabilization stent to secure to a patients face the tracheal or gastric tube without the need to apply tape to the face, while maintaining visibility of tube markings, preventing kinking of the tube, and keeping the infants face visible to parents and caregivers. In one form, the invention comprises a transverse stent comprising a superior border opposed to an inferior border, an inner surface and an outer surface. A first facial interface is attached to a first terminal end of the transverse stent, and positioned to mechanically clasp to a first side of a patients face. A second facial interface is attached to a second terminal end of the transverse stent and positioned to mechanically clasp to a second side of a patients face. A docking platform can be attached to the outer surface of the transverse stem to support medical device.

International Classification:
A61H 3100
US Classification:
601 41, 601 44
Abstract:
A chest brace and method of using same that prevents the chest wall from buckling inwards during patient breathing by providing a distending force on the patients thorax. The chest brace also restores the normal anterior-to-posterior chest dimensions by providing a distending force in this direction. The chest brace includes an anterior member adapted to overly a patients chest. An adhesive mechanism secures the anterior member to a surface of such a patient. A support structure is coupled to the anterior member such that, in use, the support structure imparts a force on the anterior member in a manner so as to distend a thorax of such a patient.
Negative Pressure Chest Brace
US Patent:
6059742, May 9, 2000
Filed:
Mar 24, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/046726
Inventors:
Charles Palmer - Hummelstown PA
Assignee:
The Penn State Research Foundation - University Park PA
International Classification:
A61H 3102
US Classification:
601 41
Abstract:
A chest brace apparatus prevents the chest wall from buckling inwards during spontaneous breathing efforts and provides negative distending intra-thoracic pressure to a patient. The apparatus includes a protective adhesive layer placed on the patients skin and a brace structure that is designed to attach to the adhesive layer. The adhesive layer has an inner surface and an outer surface, the inner surface adapted to adhere to a chest region of the patient and the outer surface manifesting an outer adherent layer for attachment to the brace structure. The brace structure is placed about the patient's chest region and includes a frontal segment with a patient-side adherent layer for joinder to the outer surface of the adhesive layer, and movement devices connected to the frontal resilient segment for imparting an outward flexure thereof so as to distend the patient's chest region by outward pressure exerted on the adhesive layer. A fluidically operated extension device can be connected to the frontal segment for control of distension thereof in response to a control action. The brace structure is further adapted to enable manual distension or compression of the thoracic contents.

A pneumatically operated extension device can be connected to the frontal resilient segment for control of distension thereof in response to a pneumatic control action. The brace structure is further adapted to enable manual distension or compression of the thoracic contents.
