Abstract

A laryngoscope device adapted to suction or delivery of liquid or air to clean particulate materials in larynx, is disclosed. The laryngoscope device, comprises a handgrip with an internal cavity and a container configured to hold fluid or air is disposed within said internal cavity. A blade member is mounted on the handgrip with predetermined length and curvature to insert into an oral cavity. The blade member comprises a tip portion in fluid communication with the container. The tip portion is configured to suction and discharge fluid or air. A lever is attached at a proximal end of the blade member and projects at an angle away from the handgrip. The lever is operable by a user, to execute suction or discharge in the oral cavity via the tip portion. An oxygenation tube is disposed at a distal end of said blade member, for delivering oxygen.

Claims

1. A laryngoscope device, comprising:

a handgrip having an internal cavity;

a container configured to hold fluid or air, disposed within said internal cavity;

a blade member mounted on said handgrip with predetermined length and curvature to insert into an oral cavity, comprising a tip portion at a distal end of said blade member in fluid communication with said container configured to suction and discharge fluid or air, from said container;

a lever attached at a proximal end of said blade member and projects at an angle away from said handgrip, operable by a user, wherein the lever is adapted to move towards the handgrip to discharge the liquid or the air from the container into the oral cavity, via the tip portion at a distal end of said blade member;

wherein the lever is adapted to move away from the handgrip to suction liquid or air;

an oxygenation tube disposed at a distal end of said blade member, for concurrent delivery of oxygen to a patient'"'"'s trachea from a separate oxygen supply;

a power source disposed at a base of said internal cavity, and

a light source disposed at a distal end of said blade member powered by the power source.

2. The laryngoscope device of claim 1, wherein the blade member is detachably mounted on the handgrip.

3. The laryngoscope device of claim 1, wherein the container is contoured to match the internal dimensions of the internal cavity of the handgrip.

4. The laryngoscope device of claim 1, wherein the power source is a battery.
