Problems solved by technology
In fact, the bristle members are often sharp and can damage the endotracheal tube or injure the patient if they accidentally protrude beyond the open inner distal end of the endotracheal tube, making the outwardly protruding bristle members become stuck outside the endotracheal tube. possible
Additionally, due to the telescoping configuration of the bristles, gaps naturally exist between adjacent bristles, resulting in areas of the tube that cannot engage
Therefore, the retraction of the bristles is further restricted as secretions begin to build up under the bristles
Furthermore, such single-function devices require additional items to be introduced into the tube, often causing additional trauma to the patient, for example when suction becomes necessary

Embodiment Construction
[0039] As shown in the drawings, the present invention relates to a handle assembly generally indicated at 10 which, when connected to or assembled with other operative components, facilitates the cleaning of the interior of an endotracheal tube 100 while the tracheal An inner tube is positioned within the patient. As set forth in more detail below, the aforementioned cooperating components assembled and / or connected together with the handle assembly 10 include an expansion device, generally indicated at 12, and an elongate tubular member or conduit structure 14, in Figure 2 to Figure 8 , Figure 9A , Figure 9B , Figure 11A , Figure 11B , Figure 12 and Figure 13 Expressed in assembled form.
[0040] The handle assembly 10 includes a body generally indicated at 16, which has a generally elongated configuration and is further structured and configured to be held by a user's hand, as in Figure 13 at least partially represented in . As shown, main body 16 may be gra...

A handle assembly which facilitates the cleaning of the interior of an endotracheal tube and method of its use are disclosed. The handle assembly comprises a body structured to be held and manipulated by a hand of a user and is structured to removably retain an inflation device. A tubular member is connected to the body and is dimensioned to be inserted within and pass along an interior length of the endotracheal tube to facilitate the cleaning thereof. A calibration assembly is movably connected to the body and structured to determine an accurate or appropriate length of the tubular member to be inserted within the endotracheal tube to prevent over-insertion of the tubular member. A positioning member associated with the calibration assembly is connected to the restricting portion and is movable along the length of the body, and therefore the positioning / stop member can be positioned to be adjacent to the proximal end of the endotracheal tube in order to calibrate and determine the appropriate length of the tubular member to be inserted..
Description
technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a handle assembly and methods of using the same to facilitate cleaning the interior of an endotracheal tube. The handheld body includes a calibration assembly that determines the proper length of the tubular member / catheter to be inserted into the endotracheal tube to efficiently complete the cleaning procedure. Manipulating the calibration assembly for selective positioning on and relative to the body to determine an appropriate length of the tubular member to be inserted into the endotracheal tube to complete the cleaning procedure while preventing the tubular member from potentially dangerously extending out of the opening of the endotracheal tube Inner remote. Background technique [0002] Many patients in the hospital, especially those in the intensive care unit ("ICU"), must be fitted with an endotracheal tube to help them breathe. In particular, the endotracheal tube is an elongated semi-rigid lumen that is ins...
