A respiratory aid (10) is disclosed for maintaining the passage of air through the upper airway of a patient. The respiratory aid (10) comprises a tubular airway (12) having a first end (14) adapted, in use, to be retained between a patient's teeth and a second end (17) extending, in use, into the patient's oropharynx. A portion of the first end (14) of the tubular airway (12) is coated with an elastomeric material, thereby reducing the likelihood of injury to the patient during use. <IMAGE> |
