A simulated airway for training and practicing medical procedures has an upper jaw having simulated teeth, a nasal passage, a tongue, an epiglottis, a larynx, a trachea, an esophagus, and vocal cords. Portions of the airway are reinforced with fabric. A method of making a human airway model for simulation of medical procedures includes sculpting a core for a mold from a resin material, depositing a layer of clay on the core, and placing the core in a mold. The layer of clay is removed and a polymer is injected into the mold.

An intraosseous device includes a stylet with a pointed end for penetrating bone and a cannula through which the stylet extends. The stylet has a bent portion which is engaged in a receiver in a handle cover. The cannula has an outwardly extending flare which is engaged in a corresponding seat in a hub. The handle and the hub have formations which interlock with one another when the tip of the stylet is aligned with the tip of the cannula. The interlock formations further assist torque transmission. The configuration ensures that the maximum manual torque can be applied to penetrate bone while ensuring that the stylet and cannula are aligned for maximum cutting efficiency and remain fixed to the handle and the hub respectively.
The invention provides for an improved medical device used to remove gas and liquid from the plural cavity between the lung and the chest wall in both stationary and mobile applications. The present invention generally comprises a hollow needle with a hollow closed end stylet slidably received in the needle. The stylet is spring-biased to extend out of the needle end as a safety tip but when pressured is moved to a retracted position to allow for insertion through the chest wall. The pressure needed to insert the needle/stylet combination through the chest wall is applied by a housing at the end of the needle which is contoured for easy grip. While not being applied to the chest wall, the stylet comprises a safety tip, which makes the device safe to handle and apply in stationary or mobile applications. Further, the housing includes a one-way valve is configured permit only the passage of air and bodily fluid out of the pleural cavity without a secondary structure needed. The present invention is useful in safely and effectively treating a variety of related conditions including pneumothorax (collapsed lung), tension pneumothorax (collapsed lung pressing on the heart), and pneumohemothorax (collapsed lung with air and bodily fluids in the pleural cavity).

A template for locating a proper place for inserting a needle. The template has two reference indicators that are placed on a person's body and an elongated body, with incremental markings on each side of the elongated body, that moves relative to the two reference indicators. The incremental markings on each side of the elongated body can be scaled differently. One reference indicator is placed over the clavicle and the other is placed over the nipple on the same lateral side. The elongated body is moved until the reference indicators are each lined up with equivalent incremental markings on each half of the elongated body. When the reference indicators are lined up with matching incremental markings, a fixed target, positioned between the two sets of incremental markings, will indicate a proper location for inserting a pneumothorax relief needle.

A wound dressing is made of multiple layers and includes a collection chamber that is in fluid communication with a drainage channel. When applied over a wound, the wound dressing provides protection for the wound while allowing air and fluids to evacuate from the wound through the collection chamber and out through the drainage channel. The wound dressing can include a valve that restricts air and fluids from entering the wound, which is beneficial for treating pneumothorax.
