Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for preventing, by sweeping, the obstruction of the intubation probes in intubated patients and tracheostomy tubes in tracheostomized patients.
- the device according to the invention overcomes this drawback. It comprises two elements each having a distal end introduced into the intubation probe or into the tracheostomy tube and a proximal end manipulated by the operator.
- the first element is a central, flexible rod, the distal end of which is rounded to be non-traumatic. Near the distal end is inserted all around the rod a folding system which will allow the cleaning of the probe by sweeping. The proximal part of the rod ends in a projection allowing good prehension of the rod.
- the second element is a flexible tube inside which the first element is inserted and can slide.
- the tube is shorter than the rod itself.
- the external diameter of the tube is appropriate for the size of the various probes or cannulas to allow easy passage.
- the length of the entire device depends on the length of the intubation probes or tracheostomy tubes. It is always much higher than that of the probe or the cannula.
- the folding system inserted on the rod and folded inside the tube. The distal end of the tube is applied to the rounded distal end of the rod.
- the entire device is introduced into the intubation probe or into the tracheostomy tube through the distal end * .
- a blocking mark on the tube makes it possible to position the device relative to the distal end of the intubation probe or the tracheostomy tube.
- the proximal end of the tube is treated to ensure good grip of the tube.
- the user By sliding the tube on the rod so as to block it against the sail ⁇ lie of the rod serving as a handle, the user releases the system folded back into the tube. He then removes the device and the folded system ensures the sweeping of the intu ⁇ bation probe or the tracheostomy tube.
- the folding system consists of bristles inserted all around the central rod.
- a small foam cylinder is attached to the distal end of the rod between the bristles and the rounded part, also folded inside the tube. Released at the same time as the hairs, it collects the debris unhooked by the hairs. This foam cylinder is optional.
- the inflatable balloon which is interposed between the rounded distal end and the hairs of the rod.
- This balloon can be inflated using a ring through a channel included in the rod.
- the folding system consists of plastic strips inserted on the rod, again, it is possible to interpose a foam cylinder or an inflatable balloon between the rounded distal end and the strips.
- FIG. 1 shows in section, a form of realization of the device before use.
- the device represented in FIG. 1 comprises on the one hand a flexible central rod (1) whose distal end (2) is rounded, a collapsible system (3) inserted all around the rod near the distal end, a foam cylinder (8), folded, inserted on the rod (1) between the folding system (3) and the rounded end (2), a projection (5) terminating the proximal end of the rod (1) and allowing its manipulation.
- the device shown in Figure 1 further comprises a flexible tube (4) inside which the rod (1) is inserted and can slide, the replia ⁇ ble system (3) and the foam cylinder (8) are folded inside the tube (4). The distal end of the tube (4) is applied to the rounded distal end (2) of the rod (1).
- the tube (4) is provided with a blocking mark (6) enabling the device to be positioned relative to the distal end of the intubation probe or of the tracheostomy tube.
- the proximal end of the tube (4) is treated (7) to ensure good grip of the tube.
- FIG. 2 shows, in section, the same form of embodiment of the device as that shown in FIG. 1 after having made the tube (4) slide on the rod (1).
- the ex ⁇ proximal end of the tube (4) is then blocked on the sail ⁇ lie (5).
- the folding system (3) and the foam cylinder (8) are unfolded.
- FIG. 3 shows, in section, the same form of embodiment of the device as that shown in FIG. 1 and in FIG. 2, in place in a patient intubated after introduction into the intubation probe (9) by before sliding the tube under the rod.
- the configuration of the device is that of FIG. 1.
- the blocking mark (6) locked against the proximal end of the intubation probe allows the distal end (2) of the device to be positioned correctly by compared to the end of the intubation probe.
- FIG. 4 shows, in section, the same form of embodiment of the device as that shown in FIG. 1,
- the configuration of the device is that of FIG. 2: the folding system (3) and the foam cylinder (8) are unfolded inside the intubation probe, the proximal end of the tube (4) is blocked against the projection (5).
- the operator can then reassemble the device by holding it from the end. moth (7), the rod (1) necessarily rising with the tube (4) because the projection (5) is blocked against the distal end of the tube (4). It is the raising of the device by the operator which ensures the sweeping of the intubation probe (9).
- the device can be sterile made with non-toxic materials, presented in a case.
- the device can be for single use. It is recommended that this device be used one to four times a day, depending on the patient.

Abstract
L'invention concerne un dispositif pour remédier à l'obstruction des sondes d'intubation chez les patieents intubés et des canules de trachéotomie chez les patients trachéotomisés. Il est constitué de deux éléments introduits dans la sonde d'intubation ou la canule de trachéotomie par leur extrémité distale: d'une part une tige flexible (1), arrondie à son extrémité distale (2), munie d'un système repliable (3) à proximité de son ex trémité distale et pourvue d'une saillie (5) à l'autre extrémité permettant la manipulation; d'autre part d'un tube souple (4), muni d'un repère bloquant (6) à son extrémité proximale, à l'intérieur duquel la tige (1) est inséré et peut coulisser. Le sys tème repliable (3) est replié dans le tube souple (4) et le coulissage de la tige centrale (1) à l'intérieur du tube souple (4) après introduction du dispositif dans la sonde d'intubation ou dans la canule de trachéotomie libère le système repliable (3) qui ramone la sonde et la canule de trachéotomie à la remontée du dispositif. Ce dispositif peut être stérile, à usage uni que. Son emploi est conseillé de une à quatre fois par jour. The invention relates to a device for remedying the obstruction of intubation probes. in intubated patients and tracheostomy tubes in tracheotomized patients. It is consisting of two elements introduced into the intubation probe or the tracheostomy tube through their distal end: on the one hand a flexible rod (1), rounded at its distal end (2), provided with a folding system (3) near its ex distal end and provided with a projection (5) at the other end allowing manipulation; on the other hand, a flexible tube (4), provided with a blocking mark (6) at its proximal end, inside which the rod (1) is inserted and can slide. The sys foldable head (3) is folded in the flexible tube (4) and the sliding of the central rod (1) inside the flexible tube (4) after insertion of the device into the intubation probe or into the tracheostomy tube releases the folding system (3) which sweeps the probe and the tracheostomy tube when the device is raised. This device can be sterile, for single use than. Its use is advised from one to four times a day.
