***New Product For Licensing, Manufacturing, and/or Investors***
U.S. Patent : #6,237,597
Inventor : Joann Kovac
As attorney for the inventor of the innovative Endotracheal Medication Port Adapter we are currently seeking manufacturing companies to license, purchase patent rights or enter into a royalty agreement for this timely invention.
The Endotracheal Medication Port Adapter is to be used by paramedics, nurses, doctors, etc. to administer drugs and, more particularly, for coupling an endotracheal tube to both sources of life supporting gas such as air or oxygen and pharmaceuticals concurrently for administering to the respiratory pathway. Thus, the pulmonary administration of pharmaceuticals via an endotracheal tube designed to allow metered administration of drugs is accomplished without interruption of mechanical pulmonary ventilation.
Objects of the present invention:
- to provide an endotracheal medication port adapter which allows injection of life saving medication into a victim's lungs without interrupting the delivery of oxygen via the ventilation apparatus
- to provide an endotracheal medication port adapter constructed of relatively few parts and low cost materials which are easily fabricated, assembled, tested, and packaged in an individual sterile container for use in a use-once, discard setting
- to provide an endotracheal medication port adapter capable of simultaneously delivering multiple life saving medications usually required in life threatening emergency settings such as valium for seizures, atropine for organo phosphate poisoning and/or bradyarrhythmias, epinephrine 1:10,000 for cardiac arrest, adrenaline 1:1,000 for anaphylaxis, lidocaine for arrhythmias and narcan for narcotic overdose, etc. to a patient
- to provide an endotracheal medication port adapter including a flexible airtight seal about at least one port for attachment to either a source of life supporting gas, a source of medication or neither while supplying medication through the other port
- to provide an endotracheal medication port adapter able to atomize medicinal fluids in a flow of gas for delivery to a patient's lungs
- to provide an endotracheal medication port adapter not limited to only one mode of delivery, e.g. the choice of the life saving medication should not be limited by the present methods and apparatus
- to provide an endotracheal medication port adapter which can be permanently attached to the end of a bag-valve mask (BVM) or endotracheal tube (ET)
- to provide an endotracheal medication port adapter able to administer medications via a respiratory pathway through a ring shaped adapter wherein the medication port protrudes through the skin of the patient
- to provide an endotracheal medication port adapter that is simple and easy to use and economical in cost to manufacture
Now for the first time this unique product is available for millions of potential users. The low manufacturing cost is of major importance.
