Abstract

An oxygen delivery device ( 1 ) having a substantially U-shaped nasal cannula ( 3 ) with a formable tip ( 31 ) that fits inside the patient's nostril and extends around to an outer surface of the patient's nostril then toward the patient's eye or ear. The substantially U-shaped cannula has a first section of formable tubing ( 8 ) then extends from the U-shaped cannula across the patient's cheek around the side of the face and over the patient's ear. A second section of formable tubing ( 10 ) extends over the ear and a coiled section of tubing then extends downward to the patient's shoulder where a clip ( 15 ) located near the coiled section of flexible tubing may be used to attach the coiled section of flexible tubing to the patient's clothing. A stabilization patch ( 17 or 18 ) further secures the tubing to the cheek and/or behind the ear of the patient.

8 . The oxygen delivery device of claim 1 further comprising:

a cannula tip attached to the first end of the substantially U-shaped cannula which is adapted to fit inside the patient's nostril.

9 . An oxygen delivery device for delivering oxygen to a patient, said oxygen delivery device comprising:

a substantially U-shaped nasal cannula having a first end that is adapted to fit inside a patient's nostril and a second end adapted to extend around to an outer surface of the patient's nostril then upward toward the patient's eye; and

a first section of tubing constructed of memory material that retains its shape when bent, the first section of tubing adapted to extend from the second end of the substantially U-shaped cannula across the patient's cheek, around a side of the patient's face, and toward the patient's ear; and

a second section of tubing adapted to extend from the first section of tubing over the patient's ear; and

a third section of tubing extending from the second section of tubing to a gas supply source.

10 . The oxygen delivery device of claim 9 further comprising:

a clip located proximal to the third section of tubing.

11 . The oxygen delivery device of claim 9 further comprising:

a substantially ninety degree bend located between the second end of the nasal cannula and the first section of tubing.

12 . (canceled)

13 . The oxygen delivery device of claim 9 further comprising:

a stabilization patch having a substantially C-shaped clip on an upper surface and having an adhesive located on a rear surface to affix the stabilization patch to the patient's face and secure the first section of tubing.

14 . The oxygen delivery device of claim 9 further comprising:

a stabilization patch adapted to be affixed to the patient's face and securing the first section of tubing.

15 . The oxygen delivery device of claim 9 further comprising:

a stabilization patch adapted to be affixed to the skin behind the patient's ear and securing the second section of tubing.

16 . The oxygen delivery device of claim 9 further comprising:

a cannula tip attached to the first end of the substantially U-shaped cannula which is adapted to fit inside the patient's nostril.

17 . An oxygen delivery device for delivering oxygen to a patient, said oxygen delivery device comprising:

a substantially U-shaped nasal cannula having a first end that is adapted to fit inside a patient's nostril and a second end adapted to extend around to an outer surface of the patient's nostril then upward toward the patient's eye; and

a first section of tubing constructed of memory material that retains its shape when bent, the first section of tubing adapted to extend from the second end of the substantially U-shaped cannula across the patient's cheek, around a side of the patient's face, and toward the patient's ear; and

a second section of tubing adapted to extend from the first section of tubing over the patient's ear; and

a third section of coiled tubing adapted to extend from the second section of tubing to a fourth section of tubing; and

the fourth section of tubing extending from the third section of tubing to a gas supply source.

18 . The oxygen delivery device of claim 17 further comprising:

a clip located proximal to the fourth section of tubing.

19 . The oxygen delivery device of claim 17 further comprising:

a substantially ninety degree bend located between the second end of the nasal cannula and the first section of tubing.

20 . (canceled)

21 . The oxygen delivery device of claim 17 further comprising:

a stabilization patch having a substantially C-shaped clip on an upper surface and having an adhesive located on a rear surface to affix the stabilization patch to the patient's face and secure the first section of tubing.
