Patent ID: 8827899

Claim:
A laryngoscope device for insertion into an oral cavity, the device comprising: a disposable device body having an anatomical shape and including a proximal end and a distal end, the distal end being configured to be at least partially inserted into the oral cavity, the disposable device body including: a hollow passageway extending between the proximal and distal ends, the hollow passageway configured to be open at a proximal end opening located at the proximal end and a distal end opening located at the distal end, the proximal end opening and the distal end opening configured so that the hollow passageway is only open at the proximal end opening and the distal end opening; and an access channel adjacent to the hollow passageway, the access channel open at the proximal and distal ends and having an opening extending from the proximal end to the distal end along an entire length of the disposable device body, the opening of the access channel configured to provide a second device access to a trachea via the oral cavity in a manner that maintains the second device within the access channel until the second device exits the access channel at the distal end of the access channel; an opto-electronic module disposed at the distal end of the disposable device body and including an illumination source and one or more image sensors; electrical lines extending through the hollow passageway; an external power source, control electronics, and display device electrically coupled to the opto-electronic module via a flexible Universal Serial Bus (USB) cable configured to electrically connect each of the power source, control electronics, and display device to the electrical lines.
