Abstract:
A resilient, tubular sleeve is provided for use in combination with an oral airway during conventional medical intubation procedures. The sleeve is formed from a resilient material designed to stretch while placing it on the airway and to tightly engage the airway once in place. The sleeve is formed of a resilient material whereby the patient's teeth are protected from chipping and cracking should the patient bite the airway or grind his teeth during the procedure.
