ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a disposable cushioning device for use in combination with a laryngoscope which includes a handle and a blade. The handle contains a battery which is connected to a first electrical contact pad on the upper surface of the handle. The blade has a lateral shelf which has a top surface, an upright wall and a blade portion extending in a direction opposite to the shelf. The blade portion is curved from its base to its tip which is in the form of a rounded transverse bar of the same width as the blade portion. The base of the blade portion is hinged to the top of the handle. The blade carries an electric lamp which is connected to a second electrical contact pad in the base of the blade portion. The disposable cushioning device is sterilizable and includes an elongated sheath which has a bottom surface and a top surface. The elongated sheath is slidably and removably coupled to the shelf of the blade so that the bottom surface is adjacent to the shelf. The disposable cushioning device also includes an elongated layer of soft pliable plastic material. An adhesive material adheres the elongated layer of soft pliable plastic material to the top surface of the elongated sheath. The disposable cushioning device protects the upper teeth of a patient undergoing an endotracheal intubation.
