Patent ID: 7406966

Claim:
A nasal ventilation interface comprising; a pair of tubes for providing ventilation including, a distal section of the pair of tubes configured to be engagable with a person's nostrils, a proximal section attachable to a ventilation gas supply, and a midsection of the pair of tubes configured for connecting the distal and proximal sections; wherein the distal section pair of tubes comprise: (a) compound arcuate curves which are configured such that the distal section of the pair of tubes are adapted to extend from the nostril downward around the corners of the mouth to the chin and which are substantially stabilized in a performed configuration to stabilize and position the compound arcuate curves around the corners of the mouth and chin, (b) the compound arcuate curves are configured such that the pair of tubes are adapted to curve such that the distal section of the pair of tubes is adapted to be in substantial contact with the skin and are substantially stabilized in a performed configuration to stabilize and position the compound arcuate curves substantially in contact with the skin and resist malformation of the configuration of the curves, (c) and a coupling element interconnecting the pair of tubes that is adapted to be positioned between the nostrils and upper lip wherein the coupling element comprises a length adjuster.
