摘要:
The present disclosure relates to a lumen clearing device for a lumen of an airway device and, in particular, an endotracheal tube. The lumen clearing device may include a shaft and a ridge disposed along a distal portion of the shaft, where the ridge extends from the shaft in a spiral configuration. The lumen clearing device may further include a rotating mechanism connected to a proximal portion of the shaft that is configured to rotate the shaft and the ridge. The shaft may be configured to be inserted into a lumen of an airway tube. The ridge, when rotated as the shaft is inserted into the lumen of the airway tube, may contact and convey a material disposed in the lumen of the airway tube out of the lumen of the airway tube.
