The present invention relates to a blanket for use with forced air convection systems, wherein the blanket includes multiple inlet ports. By providing a blanket with multiple inlets, the user has the choice of positioning the air supply or blower unit and the supply hose on either side of the patient. In addition, in a preferred embodiment, the inlet ports are resealable, thus allowing the user to switch inlets during use.

Warming blanket having multiple inlets

The present invention relates to a specialized tracheal tube and a method of using such for introduction of gasses or vapors along the trachea, such as by an anesthesiologist during the administration of anesthesia to a patient undergoing surgery. In particular, the present invention relates to a tracheal tube having a filament reinforced flexible portion that allows for movement of the proximal end relative to the distal end of the tracheal tube without creating stress at the proximal or distal ends. The tracheal tube according to the present invention allows 360.degree. access to the head and neck area of a patient, and allows for movement of the proximal end of the tracheal tube during a surgical procedure without requiring re-intubation.

Tracheal tube with reinforced flexible segment

The present invention relates to endotracheal tubes used for conducting gases or vapors along the trachea, for example by an anesthesiologist, paramedic or emergency room doctor. In particular, the present invention relates to an improved and novel endotracheal tubes having structure which enables the simultaneous administration of medication to both lungs of the patient.
