Introducer For Surgical Airway Catheters

US Patent:
2012029, Nov 29, 2012
Filed:
May 31, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/484933
Inventors:
Richard M. Levitan - Radnor PA, US
Assignee:
AIRWAY CAM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. - Wayne PA
International Classification:
A61M 16/04
US Classification:
12820026
Abstract:
An introducer for a surgical airway catheter has a proximal handle; a curved, rod-shaped main section; an opening-enlarging region; and a rod-shaped distal tip, sized to receive the catheter tube. After making an initial opening in a patient's trachea, the operator inserts the distal tip into the initial opening up to the cutting region. The operator uses the opening-enlarging region to sufficiently widen the opening by moving the introducer from side to side or simply by inserting the introducer into the opening to enable the widened opening to receive the tube and cuff of the catheter. The operator rotates the introducer and catheter into the trachea through the widened opening and then removes the introducer leaving the catheter in place. The introducer and catheter can be pre-configured in a surgical kit having a retractable scalpel configurable onto the introducer's handle and used to excise the initial tracheal opening.

Introducer For Surgical Airway Catheters

US Patent:
2012020, Aug 16, 2012
Filed:
Oct 15, 2010
Appl. No.:
13/501602
Inventors:
Richard M. Levitan - Radnor PA, US
Assignee:
AIRWAY CAM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. - Wayne PA
International Classification:
A61M 16/04
US Classification:
12820026
Abstract:
An introducer for a surgical airway catheter has a proximal handle; a curved, rod-shaped main section; a cutting region; and a rod-shaped distal tip, all (except the handle) sized to receive the catheter tube. After making an initial opening in a patient's trachea, the operator inserts the distal tip of the introducer into the initial opening up to the cutting region. The operator uses the cutting region to sufficiently widen the opening by moving the introducer from side to side to enable the widened opening to receive the tube and cuff of the catheter. The operator rotates the introducer and catheter into the trachea through the widened opening and then removes the introducer leaving the catheter in place. The introducer and catheter can be pre-configured in a surgical kit that includes a retractable scalpel that can be configured onto the introducer's handle and used to excise the initial tracheal opening.
