An airway management device, comprising:
- a body having a proximal end and a distal end, said body including a linear portion adjacent to the proximal end and a curved portion adjacent to the distal end;
- and
- a toroidal shaped membrane having first and second opposed edges, said first edge injection moulded to a first portion of the body to self-adhere the first edge at the distal end and the second edge injection moulded to a second portion of the body to self-adhere the second edge at the distal end, said first and second portions in spaced relation, the toroidal shaped membrane forming an inflatable cuff.
An airway management device, comprising:
- a body having a proximal end and a distal end, said body including a linear portion adjacent to the proximal end and a curved portion adjacent to the distal end;
- and
- a toroidal shaped membrane having first and second opposed edges, said first edge having a first compound curvature injection moulded at the distal end to a first portion of the body having a second compound curvature and the second edge having a third compound curvature injection moulded at the distal end to a second portion of the body having a fourth compound curvature, said first and second portions in spaced relation, the toroidal shaped membrane forming an inflatable cuff.
