FR2664167A1 - Device for carrying out mouth to mouth resuscitation without direct contact of the two mouths and without any risk of mutual transfer of germs - Google Patents

Abstract

The invention relates to a device with which it is possible to carry out mouth to mouth resuscitation without direct contact of the two mouths and without any risk of mutual transfer of germs during this exercise. It consists of a body made up of two parts (1-4). The part (1) represents a tube whose end (1a) permits insufflation of air and whose wider end (1b), serving as a sleeve (2), will allow the device to be fitted on the second part (4). The sleeve (2) has, on its inner perimeter, a limit stop (3) which will be used to block the disc (7) when the part (1) is fitted on the part (4). The second part (4) represents a tube having at the end (4a) a limit stop (6) over its entire inner perimeter, on which an aseptic, antiseptic, disinfectant disc or filter (7) will be placed. This filter will render the insufflated air aseptic and will avoid the risk of any possible transfer of germs. The end (4b) which permits the escape of the insufflated air is passed into the mouth of the patient. Above the end (4b) a "collar" (5) is positioned on the mouth of the patient, protecting the latter and the "insufflator". A disc (8) having the same shape can be fixed on this "collar" (5). This disc (8) forming part of the "collar" (5) provides a supplementary double protection between the "insufflator" and the patient. The device according to the invention is intended in particular for carrying out mouth to mouth resuscitation without direct contact between the two mouths, of the patient and the "insufflator", and without any risk of possible mutual transfer of germs both via the insufflated air and as a result of the proximity of the two mouths.

Description

 The present invention relates to a device for practicing "mouth to the left" without direct contact of the two mouths and without danger of mutual micrcbien transfer during this practice.

 Traditionally, "mouth to mouth" is practiced by directly pressing the mouth of the "insufflator" on the patient's mouth.

 However, - the mouth is a particularly septic environment and oral hygiene leaves much to be desired: according to INSEE, a toothbrush for three French people. the postilions, the droplets of PFUZZER (tiny postilions, invisible to the naked eye), are vectors of this flora.

- in our time, there are very serious scourges: AIDS, tuberculosis, which is feared to increase in developed countries.

 From this moment, the practice of "mouth to mouth" can be problematic and turn out to be read or less dangerous.

 Consequently, taking rigorous, and, preventive measures appropriate becomes imperative because it is the only means of protection of the healthy population.

 The device according to the invention makes it possible to remedy the drawbacks of "mouth to mouth" by mutually protecting the two people present from any possible mocrobial transfer.

The invention will be better understood from the description which follows, made with reference to the accompanying drawing for information only, in which
Figure 1 is a sectional view of the part (1);
Figure 2 is a current view of part (4);
Figure 3 is a current view of the device according to the invention.

 the device according to the invention consists of a body in two parts (1 and 4).

 part (1) represents a rigid plastic tube 45 mm long. The end (la) r-å allows air to be blown will have a diameter of 20 mm, the other end (lb) will have a diae- oe of 25 mm over a height of 30 min to act as a sleeve ( 2) .About 20 minutes from the end (lb) and on the inner periphery, the sleeve (2) will be provided with a stop (3) of approximately 5 minutes which will block the tablet or filter (7 ) aseptic, antiseptic, and disinfecting when the part (1) will fit on the part (4). The second part (4) represents a rigid or flexible plastic or rubber tube both diameter of 20 ttrn at both ends (4a and 4b) long of 50 mm. The end (4a) carries on the inner periphery a stop (6) of about 5 min on which rests a tablet or filter (7) aseptic, antiseptic and disinfectant (e). This tablet or filter makes it possible to sanitize the blown air thus stopping any microbial transfer. About 20 minutes from the end (4b) which allows the outflow of blown air and which enters the patient's mouth, the part (4) wears a cotlerette "(5) which will be pressed against the view 61 t? .4 t; 1 covering entirely up to the fissures, passing under the base of the nostrils and above the chin. In order to avoid to injure the base of the patient's nostrils, the "collar" (5) has a small in this location. On the "collar" (5) can be placed an aseptic, antiseptic, and disinfectant tablet or filter (8) This patch (8) which follows the shape of the "collar te (5) is intended to possibly block any mutual microbial transfer contained in the air released by the nostrils.

 The device can be made of plastic or medical rubber, transparent and biodegradable in a single injection molding operation.

 The pellet or filter (7) and the pellet or filter (8) are made of the same material and can be made of non-woven textile cellulose of about 120 glm2 or any other material that can be aseptic, antiseptic, and disinfectant.

 The device according to the invention is particularly intended for practicing "mouth mouthing" without direct contact of the two mouths and without danger of possible and mutual microbial transfer both by the blown or rejected air and by the proximity of the two mouths.

Claims (4)

CLAIMS.  1) - Device for practicing "mouth to mouth" without direct contact of the two mouths and without danger of possible mutual microbial transfer characterized in that it consists of a body in two parts (1 and 4): A first part (1) forming a sleeve (2) by injecting air through one end (la), is provided with a stop (3) intended to block a tablet or filter (7) aseptic, antiseptic and disinfectant), cemanchon (2) is tine to fit on a second part (4) having on the one hand at one end (4a) a stop (6) on its for interior on which rests a pellet or filter (7) which will be blocked by the stop (3) of the part (1) during the fitting and on the other hand a "collar" (5) intended to be pressed onto the patient's mouth and to completely cover this mouth up to the carmissia, in passing under the base of the nose and above the chin This part (4) also ends with an orifice (4b) which enters the mouth e of the patient and through which the sanitized air comes out.  2) - Device according to claim 1 characterized in that it further comprises, on the "flange" (5) a tablet or filter (8) aseptic, antiseptic and disinfectant (e) intended to possibly block any microbial transfer contained in the air released by the nostrils of the insufflator and / or the patient.  31 - Device according to claims 1 and 2 characterized in that the "collar" (5) and the pellet or filter (8) have the same shape and both have a small inv curvation at the base of the nose.  4) - Device according to claims 1-2-3 characterized in that the tablet or filter (7) and the tablet or filter (8) are made (es) in the lead material  5) - Device according to claim 4 characterized in that the tablet or filter (7) and the tablet or filter (8) are made of non-woven cellulose fabric of about 120m2.
