International Classification:

A61B 1/267

US Classification:

600186

Abstract:

The present invention generally provides a system and method for viewing the oropharyngeal and laryngeal area utilizing a laryngoscope capable of being connected to a monitor and power source, said laryngoscope being comprised of a handle, an arm, a camera, a light, and a disposable sheath, wherein the sheath is slideably and removably coupled to the arm; the sheath being further comprised of a canal capable of being threaded with a bougie; the handle being further comprised of a remote ejection element mechanically connected to a spring element capable of ejecting the sheath from the arm; the arm being removably coupled to the handle. The system is further comprised of a display device, and an IV pole attachment and an LED imaging device. The sheath may be remotely ejected by depressing a thumb ejector switch on the handle which releases a clasp at the coupling point and further releases a spring element held in compression which, upon release, forcibly moves the sheath along the length of the arm, such that the sheath becomes detached from the arm. The sheath is further comprised of a small canal at least partially running along the outside length that serves as a guide for the bougie. The IV pole attachment is comprised of an attachment receiver that allows the user to quickly attach and separate the display unit from the IV Pole attachment, the laryngoscope is comprised of a heating element. In one aspect of the present invention, the laryngoscope is capable of being motion activated such that the laryngoscope is powered on upon movement or such that the laryngoscope is powered off when no movement is detected for a predetermined time. In another aspect, the system is capable of wirelessly communicating with the screen.
