A flexible stylet to be inserted into and pushed out an endotracheal tube's for tracheal intubation under a visualization of a traditional or video laryngoscope. The stylet includes a rod which can be divided into a proximal segment, a distal segment which includes a bendable segment, and a tip segment. A retracting string is configured as a coil, spring, or wave-like shaped elongated flexible filament-like. Its proximal end is configured with a docking device which fastens to an endotracheal tube's proximal opening. The retracting string's distal end is coupled to the rod distal segment. The retracting string can generate pulling force when being stretched and elongated and therefore pulls back the rod distal segment back to form curves when the bendable segment is out of the ET distal aperture. A second string has two ends, one couples to the distal segment and the other to retracting string respectively.
A stylet configured to be inserted inside of a tubular structure and to be pushed out of the tubular structure distal aperture comprising:
The device claim of 1, wherein the entire length or portion of length of the retracting string is configured as coiled-like or spring-like or wave-like extensible and compressible structure, wherein the coiled-like or spring-like or wave-like extensible and compressible structure is configured to have extensibility under a pulling force and same time its recoiled capability to generate a retracting force, wherein the retracting force or tension on the string proximal filament and the string distal filament is configured to change during the forming of the one or more curves.
A stylet configured to be inserted inside of a tubular structure and to be pushed out a tubular structure distal aperture to form one or more curves comprising:
The stylet to be inserted inside of a tubular structure and to be pushed out a tubular structure distal aperture comprising:
