This device
is to protect the upper incisors from the laryngoscope or oesophagoscope.
It is:
- applicable to any patient - will conform to a very wide range
of jaws
- stable in use because it accommodates to teeth, gums and palate
- safe in use, featuring a ribbon to secure to patient’s
clothing
- convenient in use, since its design minimizes obstruction to
instruments and presents smooth, free-running surfaces to those
which come into contact with it
- re-usable and will withstand repeated autoclaving
- durable enough to endure many operations, this robust material
is especially concentrated into a thicker section across the destructive
incisors.
We acknowledge with gratitude the generous help we received in
the development of this device from Mr. J. Conrad FRCS, Truro, U.K.
