Filed:

Jun 10, 2019

Appl. No.:

16/436801

Inventors:

- Ann Arbor MI, US
Lisa M. Carver - Farmington Hills MI, US
Matthew T. Hill - Naperville IL, US
Michael M. Hotta - Novi MI, US
Laura G. Kruger - Okemos MI, US
Alexander C. Waselewski - Sterling Heights MI, US

International Classification:

A61M 16/08
A61M 16/04
A61M 16/20

Abstract:

A tracheal tube (e.g., an endotracheal tube) includes an inserting cannula (that may be able to swivel), and wherein the inserting cannula is connected to an elbow adaptor through a Bayonet Neill-Concelman (BNC) connection. The BNC connection may provide more secure connection of the corresponding components and may be able to withstand greater amounts of force exerted on them without becoming detached from each other. The elbow adapter may further be coupled to a pressure release valve that will alleviate pressure buildup within the tracheal tube.

A61M 16/20

Abstract:

A tracheal tube includes an inner cannula and an outer cannula that are connected with a threaded connection able to swivel, and wherein the inner cannula is also connected to an elbow adaptor through a Bayonet Neill-Concelman (BNC) connection. Both the threaded and the BNC connects provide more secure connections of the corresponding components and are able to withstand greater amounts of force exerted on them without becoming detached from each other. The elbow adapter may further be coupled to a pressure release valve that will alleviate pressure buildup within the tracheal tube.
