| abstract |
The present invention relates to a nozzle which is adapted to be taken in the mouth and which is connectable to a respirator (12) and adapted to permit passage of air between the respirator and the lungs of a patient, whereby the nozzle includes a base member (2) which is adapted to be disposed in the mouth between the teeth (4) and whereby the nozzle further includes a shield (5) which is adapted to sealingly engage the lips and surrounding face portions from the outside. For preventing the shield (5) from loosing its sealingly engagement from the outside with the lips and surrounding face portions while asleep, the base member (2) is individually adapted to the patient's teeth (4) by having tooth impressions (8) adapted to the teeth such that the base member (2) retains said teeth (4) in said impressions (8) when the patient is asleep. |
