20090064999 | Tracheostomy tube with inner cannula and obturator for regular and extra-long stomas - This invention relates to a dual-cannula tracheostomy device comprising an outer cannula and an inner cannula for insertion into the trachea of patients with normal-sized and extra-long stomas. The inner cannula comprises an interlocking means which interacts with a connecting means on the outer cannula in order to stabilize the inner cannula when it is inserted in the outer cannula. The inner cannula may also comprise a gripping means, such as ridges, which improve handling of the inner cannula during its insertion and removal from the outer cannula. The invention further comprises an obturator to help guide the outer cannula while it is being inserted into the trachea. The obturator similarly comprises an interlocking means which interacts with the connecting means on the outer cannula to stabilize the obturator while it is inserted in the outer cannula. Finally, the invention comprises a method of inserting the tracheostomy device into the trachea of a patient. | 03-12-2009 |
20090093668 | Device to stent an airway during brachytherapy treatment and to provide a secure and precise positioning of a treatment radiotherapy capsule within airway - This invention relates to a device for brachytherapy treatment of a tissue growth on the inner surface of an airway lumen. The invention also relates to a device for treatment of an obstructing tissue growth on the inner surface of an airway lumen. The device is comprised of a cylindrical tube having a proximal end, a distal end, and a continuous open cavity therebetween, wherein the device is deployed against the inner surface of the lumen. There is at least one longitudinal channel contained within the wall of the tube for positioning a treatment radiotherapy source in close proximity to said tissue growth. The present invention also discloses a method for treating a tissue growth on the inner surface of an airway lumen, and method for treating an obstructing tissue growth on the inner surface of an airway lumen | 04-09-2009 |
