Embodiment Construction

[0200] will now refer to Figure 1A to Figure 1IDescribe examples of respiratory assistance devices.

[0201] In this example, the instrument 100 includes a body 110 for positioning within the oral cavity of a user. The body 110 comprises at least one first opening 111 for allowing airflow between the lips of the user and two second openings 112 provided in the oral cavity to allow airflow to and from the rear region of the cavity. Two channels 113 are provided, each connecting a respective second opening 112 to the first opening 111, and each channel 113 passing through at least one of: at least partially along the buccal cavity ) and at least partially between the teeth to thereby provide the user with an airway that at least partially bypasses the nasal passage and serves to replicate a healthy nasal passage and pharyngeal space.

[0202] As a result of this arrangement, during inhalation, air can enter the instrument 100 via the first opening 111 , pass along the channel...

Abstract

Apparatus for providing breathing assistance, the apparatus including a body for positioning within an oral cavity of a user, the body defining, at least one first opening for allowing airflow betweenlips of the user, two second openings provided in the oral cavity to allow air flow into and out of a posterior region of the oral cavity, two channels, each channel connecting a respective second opening to the at least one first opening and each channel passing at least one of at least partially along the buccal cavity and at least partially between the teeth to thereby provide an airway for the user, the airway at least partially bypassing the nasal passage to thereby act to replicate a healthy nasal passage and pharyngeal space and a tongue retaining portion including a cavity for receiving a portion of a tongue of the user, in use, wherein the tongue retaining portion is configured to retain the tongue in an extended position to project at least partially between the tooth of the user.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to apparatus for providing breathing assistance, and in particular to apparatus for providing respiratory assistance during sleep or exercise, and methods of making a breathing assistance apparatus. Background technique [0002] Any reference in this specification to any prior publication (or information derived from a prior publication) or to any matter known is not and should not be deemed to be a prior publication (or information derived from a prior publication) or An admission or acknowledgment or suggestion of any kind that known matters form part of the common general knowledge in the field of endeavor to which this specification relates. [0003] Poor quality or inefficient breathing is a problem that can affect a person's performance in their daily activities when they are awake and / or when they are asleep. While awake, this can be suboptimal performance in activities such as exercise, or even when performing dai...
