Abstract:
A tracheostomy mask for delivering gaseous therapeutics to a patient fitted with an tracheostomy tube includes a mask body and an alignment stabilizer. The mask body has an opening to receive oxygen and humidification to be delivered to a patient. The alignment stabilizer is supported by the mask body and maintains alignment between the mask body and the tracheostomy tube inserted within the neck of a patient. By maintaining this alignment, the tracheostomy mask with alignment stabilizer insures reliable therapeutic delivery to the patient.
