A Better Way to Manage Airways — Without Replacing a Single Device
The TAS Airway Connector fits any existing oral or nasal airway device, adding dual-channel oxygen delivery and accurate CO₂ monitoring — instantly, without modification.
Anesthesiologists have been improvising — at patient risk
To improve oxygen delivery and CO₂ monitoring during surgery, clinicians routinely modify existing airway devices in the OR. These workarounds can be effective but are unstandardized, introducing patient safety risks that no current product addresses.
Non-standardized modifications
Clinicians cut, splice, and improvise connections — no two setups are alike, and no existing device is designed for it.
Oxygen overexposure risk
Without standardized connectors, oxygen delivery can be imprecise — raising the risk of patient overexposure during procedures.
Inaccurate CO₂ readings
Modified nasal trumpets produce unreliable end-tidal CO₂ data, compromising critical monitoring during airway management.
Wasted OR time & added cost
Field modifications add setup time, complexity, and extra cost — without a reliably safer or better outcome for patients.
The TAS Airway Connector — standardized, universal, patented
A press-fit connector that attaches to any existing oral or nasal airway device, delivering dual-channel oxygen and CO₂ monitoring with no new equipment required.
- Universal press-fit — adapts to all current oral and nasal airway devices
- Dual-channel design: dedicated ports for O₂ delivery and CO₂ monitoring
- Eliminates dead space — precise, efficient oxygen reaches the patient
- Accurate end-tidal CO₂ monitoring — no cannula cutting or splicing
- Retrofit and integrated versions — no replacement equipment needed
- Standardized design eliminates risk from improvised setups
- Utility patent issued
Immediate clinical impact from a single connector
Designed by a practicing anesthesiologist to solve a real OR problem
“A 3-year-old Down’s syndrome patient needed a rigid laryngoscopy — we couldn’t intubate. The standard approach means repeatedly sharing the airway back and forth, which is risky and ill-advised in pediatric cases. I placed the nasal trumpet with a TAS connector and maintained spontaneous breathing throughout the 10-minute procedure. Without it, we would have had to share the airway a minimum of 5–6 times. The procedure completed safely without complications.”— Inventor of the TAS Airway Connector, practicing anesthesiologist
Key outcomes from this case
- Continuous oxygen delivery throughout a 10-minute laryngoscopy
- Eliminated 5–6 required airway-sharing interruptions
- Patient maintained acceptable O₂ saturation throughout
- Procedure completed safely, no complications
- Used with an existing nasal trumpet — no new equipment
