ABSTRACT:
An intubation device is used to intubate a body passageway or cavity, such as the maxillary sinus, by ventilating, draining, irrigating, medicating or otherwise treating the body cavity. The intubation device includes a flexible tube, for providing access to the cavity, and an anchoring member disposed at a distal end of the flexible tube, for anchoring the tube to a region of the cavity. The tube includes a curved portion proximate the distal end, and the anchoring member includes one or more flanges extending from the distal end. The curved portion of the tube and one of the flanges form a receiving region adapted to receive and conform to a wall in the body cavity, such as the wall of the maxillary sinus. The method of nasal intubation includes inserting the anchoring member and distal end of the tube through a hole formed in the wall of the maxillary sinus. The receiving region receives the sinus wall and the flanges are disposed against the interior sinus wall to comfortably anchor the tube within the maxillary sinus. The proximal end of the tube extends through the nostril of the patient, allowing the tube to be used to treat the maxillary sinus.
