Abstract
In one embodiment, the present application discloses a laryngoscope blade assembly comprising a blade body and an elastomeric material configured on the blade body, wherein the elastomeric material is permanently adhered to the lower surface, the upper surface or both the lower and the upper surfaces.
Claims19
A laryngoscope blade assembly having a proximal end, a distal end and a distal tip, comprising:
- a blade body comprising an upper face and a lower face, a proximal end and a distal end, the upper face and lower face defined by a first edge and a second edge;
- wherein the first edge of the blade body is configured to connect to a top edge of a substantially vertical portion of a flange having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the flange comprises the vertical portion comprising the top edge and a bottom edge, a lateral side wall and a medial side wall, the wall defined by the top edge and the bottom edge, wherein the vertical portion extends downward from the first edge of the blade body, and the flange further comprising a substantially horizontal portion, wherein the horizontal portion comprises an upper surface and a lower surface;
- wherein the horizontal portion is configured to extend laterally or medially from the bottom edge of the vertical portion;
- and
- an elastomeric material configured on the lower surface of the horizontal portion of the flange, wherein the elastomeric material is permanently adhered to the lower surface, the upper surface or the lower and the upper surfaces;
- wherein the blade body is substantially arcuate with the convex upper face and a concave lower face;
- and
- wherein the horizontal portion of the flange is substantially arcuate with the convex upper surface and a concave lower surface.
