ABSTRACT:
An airway having a pair of elongate generally parallel body members guided and restrained for limited longitudinal sliding motion of one member relative to the other, hingedly interconnected at the inner ends thereof to a tongue clamping member, and provided at the outer ends thereof with manual actuators at least one of which has a lateral extension that abuts against the face of a patient when the airway is inserted into the mouth, the body members being curved to conform at least generally to the tongue of the patient and the clamping member being adapted to extend into the throat of the patient when the airway is fully inserted, whereby manipulation of the body members in one direction acts through the hinges to rock the clamping member toward the front of the throat and into pressed engagement with the tongue to compress the same forwardly and whereby manipulation of the body members in the opposite direction rocks the clamping member toward the back of the throat to release the tongue and permit removal of the airway from the mouth.
