Profile: Hood Laboratories offers medical devices for managing specific medical conditions associated with head, neck and chest. We also manufacture laboratory surgical devices. We offer products for use in otolaryngology, thoracic, pulmonology and sleep disorders. Thoracic products offer a complete line of proximal and distal tracheal, and bronchial silicone stents. Sleep line offers hood stoma stent system. Our otolaryngology products are used for the treatment of diseases of the larynx and distal airway. Bronchial stent with posts are flanged to prevent their movement after surgical placement in the bronchus. The hood stoma gauge can be used to determine the precise depth of the stoma which provides the comfortable fit for the self-retaining stoma stents. The bronchial stent is designed to relieve airway complications such as anastomosis and stenosis. The stents are used to minimize chronic bronchial strictures due to tuberculosis and malignancies. Tracheal T-Tubes are designed with the stopper plug attached to the extraluminal limb to ensure secure placement, and to offer convenience in daily cleaning, maintenance & training.

The company was founded in 1962, has revenues of USD 1-5 Million, has ~20 employees and is ISO 9001:2000, ISO 13485:2003 certified.

• Apnea Therapy Equipment

• Bronchial Tube with/without Connector (FDA Code: BTS / 868.5720)

A bronchial tube is a device used to differentially intubate a patient's bronchus (one of the two main branches of the trachea leading directly to the lung) in order to isolate a portion of lung distal to the tube.

• Ear Valve

• Endolymphatic Shunt Tube (FDA Code: ESZ / 874.3820)

An endolymphatic shunt is a device that consists of a tube or sheet intended to be implanted to relieve the symptons of vertigo. The device permits the unrestricted flow of excess endolymph from the distended end of the endolymphatic system into the mastoid cavity where resorption occurs. This device is made of polytetrafluoroethylene or silicone elastomer.

• Endotracheal Tubes & Accessories, Laryngectomy Tubes

• ENT Tracheostomy Tube

• Esophageal Prosthesis (FDA Code: ESW / 878.3610)

An esophageal prosthesis is a rigid, flexible, or expandable tubular device made of a plastic, metal, or polymeric material that is intended to be implanted to restore the structure and/or function of the esophagus. The metal esophageal prosthesis may be uncovered or covered with a polymeric material. This device may also include a device delivery system.

• Expandable Tracheal Prosthesis (FDA Code: JCT / 878.3720)

The tracheal prosthesis is a rigid, flexible, or expandable tubular device made of a silicone, metal, or polymeric material that is intended to be implanted to restore the structure and/or function of the trachea or trachealbronchial tree. It may be unbranched or contain one or two branches. The metal tracheal prosthesis may be uncovered or covered with a polymeric material. This device may also include a device delivery system.

• Flexible/Rigid Bronchoscope (FDA Code: EOQ / 874.4680)

A bronchoscope (flexible or rigid) and accessories is a tubular endoscopic device with any of a group of accessory devices which attach to the bronchoscope and is intended to examine or treat the larynx and tracheobronchial tree. It is typically used with a fiberoptic light source and carrier to provide illumination. The device is made of materials such as stainless steel or flexible plastic. This generic type of device includes the rigid ventilating bronchoscope, rigid nonventilating bronchoscope, nonrigid bronchoscope, laryngeal-bronchial telescope, flexible foreign body claw, bronchoscope tubing, flexible biopsy forceps, rigid biopsy curette, flexible biopsy brush, rigid biopsy forceps, flexible biopsy curette, and rigid bronchoscope aspirating tube, but excludes the fiberoptic light source and carrier.

• Laryngeal Prosthesis (FDA Code: EWL / 874.3730)

A laryngeal prosthesis (Taub design) is a device intended to direct pulmonary air flow to the pharynx in the absence of the larynx, thereby permitting esophageal speech. The device is interposed between openings in the trachea and the esophagus and may be removed and replaced each day by the patient. During phonation, air from the lungs is directed to flow through the device and over the esophageal mucosa to provide a sound source that is articulated as speech.

• Laryngeal Stents

• Laryngectomy Tube (FDA Code: KAC / 874.4420)

• Larynx Prosthesis (FDA Code: FWN / 874.3620)

• Nasal Septal Button (FDA Code: LFB)

• Nasal Splint Kits

• Nasal Splints (FDA Code: EPP / 874.5800)

An external nasal splint is a rigid or partially rigid device intended for use externally for immobilization of parts of the nose.

• Ophthalmic Valve

• Plastic Surgery Kit and Accessories (FDA Code: FTN / 878.3925)

A plastic surgery kit and accessories is a device intended to be used to reconstruct maxillofacial deficiencies. The kit contains surgical instruments and materials used to make maxillofacial impressions before molding an external prosthesis.

• Preformed/Molded Tracheal Prosthesis (FDA Code: NWA / 878.3720)

• Reinforced Laryngectomy Tubes

• Respiratory Therapy Equipment

• Rhinoanemometer for Measurement of Nasal Decongestion (FDA Code: BXQ / 868.1800)

A rhinoanemometer is a device used to quantify the amount of nasal congestion by measuring the airflow through, and differential pressure across, a patient's nasal passages.

• Salivary Bypass Tubes

• Sengstaken Esophageal Tube

• Silicone Stents

• Sinus Cannula (FDA Code: KAM / 878.4800)

A manual surgical instrument for general use is a nonpowered, hand-held, or hand-manipulated device, either reusable or disposable, intended to be used in various general surgical procedures. The device includes the applicator, clip applier, biopsy brush, manual dermabrasion brush, scrub brush, cannula, ligature carrier, chisel, clamp, contractor, curette, cutter, dissector, elevator, skin graft expander, file, forceps, gouge, instrument guide, needle guide, hammer, hemostat, amputation hook, ligature passing and knot-tying instrument, knife, blood lancet, mallet, disposable or reusable aspiration and injection needle, disposable or reusable suturing needle, osteotome, pliers, rasp, retainer, retractor, saw, scalpel blade, scalpel handle, one-piece scalpel, snare, spatula, stapler, disposable or reusable stripper, stylet, suturing apparatus for the stomach and intestine, measuring tape, and calipers. A surgical instrument that has specialized uses in a specific medical specialty is classified in separate regulations in parts 868 through 892.

• Thermo Plastic External Nasal Splint

• Tracheal Speaking Valve

• Tracheal Stent

• Tracheal T-Tubes

• Tracheal Tube Fixation Device (FDA Code: CBH / 868.5770)

A tracheal tube fixation device is a device used to hold a tracheal tube in place, usually by means of straps or pinch rings.

• Tracheal Tube with/without Connector (FDA Code: BTR / 868.5730)

A tracheal tube is a device inserted into a patient's trachea via the nose or mouth and used to maintain an open airway.

• Tracheobronchial Suction Catheter (FDA Code: BSY / 868.6810)

A tracheobronchial suction catheter is a device used to aspirate liquids or semisolids from a patient's upper airway.

• Tracheobronchoscopes

• Tracheostomy Cannula

• Tracheostomy Tube with/without Connector (FDA Code: BTO / 868.5800)

A tracheostomy tube and tube cuff is a device intended to be placed into a surgical opening of the trachea to facilitate ventilation to the lungs. The cuff may be a separate or integral part of the tracheostomy tube and is, when inflated, intended to establish a seal between the tracheal wall and the tracheostomy tube. The cuff is used to prevent the patient's aspiration of substances, such as blood or vomit, or to provide a means for positive-pressure ventilation of the patient. This device is made of either stainless steel or plastic.
