Abstract
A mandible positioning device or pharyngeal airway adjuster has upper and lower bite blocks and a connection between the upper and lower bite blocks, the connection being manually adjustable for displacing the lower bite block relative to the upper bite block. The adjustable connection protrudes forwardly from the upper and lower bite blocks so that, in use of the device, the manually adjustable member is located and accessible in front of a patient fitted with the mandible positioning device. The manually adjustable connection has screws which are adjustable independently of one another for effecting relative horizontal and vertical displacement, respectively, of the upper and lower bite blocks.
