==It was invented by Moran Campbell. While oxygen masks existed before his invention, the venturi mask, his design was the first to allow for control of concentraion of oxygen being administered whihc is crucial for a mask to be effective. All medical oxygen masks used today are venturi maks of one sort of another even if the are not the brand name ventimasks.
