Abstract
An anesthesia mask (2) has finger grips (32, 34) attached to an extending from the rigid transparent cover of the mask (2) to enable the physician or other attending medical personnel to firm grasp the mask (2) and hold it in place on the face of the patient (50). The mask (2) has a central port (12) through which gas can be provided and an inflatable resilient skirt (4) which is placed in contact with the face of the patient allowing for a soft compliant seal.
Description
ANESTHESIA MASK SPECIFICATION
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates generally to an anesthesia mask and more specifically to an anesthesia mask with means for firmly holding the mask on the patient's face during the delivery of anesthesia to a patient.
Various types of anesthesia masks are known. United States Patent No. 2,317,603 (Hudbrink) discloses a mask using elastic straps at the bridge of the nose and below the chin of the patient to attach the mask firmly to the head of the patient.
United States Patent No.2,666,432 (Stanton) discloses an anesthesia mask with a transparent plastic central portion and an inflatable skirt.
United States Patent No. 3,357,426 (Cohen) discloses a face mask which uses pressure-sensitive adhesives to hold the mask on the face of the patient.
United States Patent No. 4,337,767 (Yahata) discloses a disposable anesthesia mask with a relatively rigid central portion and an elastomeric peripheral portion.
A disposal mask with a rigid surface, which has a notch on the outer surface of the mask for receiving a finger on one side of the mask to assist in holding the mask in place is marketed by Intertech Resources, Inc. of Lincolnshire, Illinois.
However, there is a need for an anesthesia mask with a more positive means for allowing the mask to be held firmly in place during the dispensing of anesthesia to a patient.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, it is the general object of the instant invention to provide an anesthesia mask which improves upon present anesthesia masks.
It is a further object of the instant invention to provide an anesthesia mask which is easy to apply to a patient, is comfortable, and conforms to the facial features of the patient.
It is still a further object of the instant invention to provide an anesthesia mask with an improved means for placing and firmly holding the mask on the face of the patient.
It is still yet a further object of the instant invention to provide an anesthesia mask which provides an effective air-tight seal when the mask is in place.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
These and other objects of the instant invention are achieved by providing an anesthesia mask with an oval shaped central rigid face member connected to a skirt member. The rigid central member includes a gas entry port and finger grips which enable the mask to be placed and firmly held to the face of the patient during the dispensing of anesthesia.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Other objects and many of the intended advantages of this invention will be readily appreciated when the same becomes better understood by reference to the following detailed description, when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Fig. 1 is an isometric view of the anesthesia mask of the instant invention;
Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view of the anesthesia mask applied to the face of a patient taken along the line 2-2 of Fig. 1; and
Fig. 3 is a sectional view of the anesthesia mask taken along the line 3-3 of Fig. 2.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Referring now in greater detail to the various Figs, of the drawings, wherein reference characters refer to like parts, there is shown in Figs. 1 - 3 the anesthesia mask 2 of the instant invention. The anesthesia mask 2 comprises an inflatable skirt member 4, a dome-shaped rigid cover section 6 and a connection band 8 which connects the inflatable skirt member 4 to the rigid cover member 6. As can be seen in the Figs., the mask has an oval peripheral εhape to conform to the face of a patient. The cover member 6 includes a projecting cylindrical section 10 which defines an inlet port 12.
The anesthesia mask 2 also comprises a strap connector 14, which has a ring 16 with a peripheral surface 18, extensions 20 and pegs 22. The extensions 20 comprise distal ends 24 which are connected to the peripheral surface 18 and proximal ends 26 at which the pegs 22 are connected. As can be seen in Fig. 1, there are four extensions 20 with four pegs 22 to which straps may be attached (not shown) . The straps may be wrapped around the head of the patient to hold the mask 2 in place.
The cover member 6, which may be made of a clear, transparent plastic, has an outer surface 40, and inner surface 42, an upper gripper 32 and a lower gripper 34.
Referring again to Figs. 1 and 2, an upper gripper 32 is attached to the outer surface 40 above the inlet port 12 while a lower gripper 34 is attached to the outer surface 40 below the inlet port 12. Any suitable adhesive or other bonding material or method can be used for attaching the upper and lower grippers 32 and 34 to the outer surface 40 of the cover member 6.
Although the embodiment shown here discloses two grippers 32 and 34 located above and below the inlet port 12, it should be kept in mind that a single gripper, (e.g., a circumferential gripper) or more than two grippers, may be used and the gripper or grippers can be positioned at other convenient locations.
As can be seen in Figs. 1 and 3, the cover member 6 has a narrower distal portion 36 and a wider proximal portion 38. The oval shape of the anesthesia mask is intended to fit the face of the patient (Fig. 3) by placing the narrower distal portion 36 at the bridge of the nose 52 and the wider proximal portion 38 at the chin 54 of the patient 50. The anesthesia mask 2 also comprises a valve member 44, which includes a cylindrical valve projection 46 and a valve stem 48, positioned at the distal portion 36. Thus, a source of gas pressure can be applied to the valve member 44 to inflate the inflatable skirt member 4 resulting in a soft, pliable and form fitting skirt member which is in contact with the face of the patient when the mask is applied.
The cylindrical projection 10 has an outer surface 28 and an inner surface 30. The strap connector 14 is removably placed on the anesthesia mask 2 by sliding the strap connector 14 over the cylindrical projection 10 with the inner surface of the ring 16 in contact with the outer surface 28 of the cylindrical projection 10.
When anesthesia masks are used, the mask is usually held by the physician or other medical attendants against the face of the patient. The mask must be pressed against the face of the patient to assure that it is air tight. Because the mask has a smooth curved, dome-shaped surface it is often slippery and difficult to hold and the holder becomes fatigued. Although the straps may be attached to hold the mask in place, there is the danger that the straps may be made too tight or too loose. The anesthesia mask of this invention enables the mask to be held firmly in place for extended periods of time through the use of finger grips attached to the rigid cover member of the mask.
An anesthesia mask has been described which improves upon existing masks by enabling the physician or other attending medical personnel to firmly grasp the mask and hold it in position for extended periods of time through the use of finger grips attached to the rigid cover member of the mask.
Without further elaboration, the foregoing will so fully illustrate my invention, that others may, by applying current or future knowledge, readily adapt the same for use under the very conditions of service.
