<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved airway device which overcomes or reduces some or all of issues of conventional technique. <P>SOLUTION: This invention relates to an airway device for human or animal use. The airway device includes an airway tube having a distal end part and a proximal end part and a buccal cavity stabilizer. The distal end part of the buccal cavity stabilizer is surrounded by a laryngeal cuff adapted to form an anatomical fit over the laryngeal inlet of a patient, and is in contact with the airway tube between the laryngeal cuff and the proximal end part of the airway tube or is positioned on the circumference thereof. The buccal cavity stabilizer is configured to be adapted to nest with the anterior aspect of the patient's tongue. The size, shape, softness, and structure of the buccal stabilizer are configured to provide stability and prevent rotation or right-left movement of the airway tube. For example, the surface of the laryngeal cuff is formed of a material with a Shore hardness on the A scale of 0-40. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT</p> |
