GOAL: DISPRUPT AND TAKE OVER AN OLD AND OVERLOOKED $150 MILLION/YR. MARKET BY LEVERAGING OUR SUPERIOR AND CLINICALLY PROVEN DEVICE DESIGN
WHY IS IT POSSIBLE?
Current oral airways have been continually proven to be defective and studies have proven that these common airways are not adequate to maintain the oropharynx airway. Further, they are not designed to control the ever-problematic tongue. Even more, our studies showed that current oral airways possess no proportional dimensional standards in relation to how it would impact the oropharyngeal area.
THE PROBLEM
The biggest impediment, after placement of an oral airway, is the relaxation of the soft tissue structures in the hypopharynx. These structures are inclined to collapse, thus obstructing airflow, while occurring from both front-to-back and side-to-side, thus greatly decreasing the size of the oral opening.
In relation, literally every patient before and after anesthesia, CPR, or sedation, is provided with a manual jaw-thrust to prevent the tongue from falling back and obstructing the airway. Furthermore, almost every patient intubated is provided with an airway to prevent biting of the soft endotracheal tube. Both of these procedures involve manually protracting the lower jaw by pulling it forward relative to the upper jaw.
SOLUTION
Studies have proven that mandibular advancement increases the oropharynx opening under anesthesia, but nobody designed that embodiment into an oral airway, or thought to design an airway to also control the tongue…until now.
