About

C-MAC Video Stylet secures the airway. It is a completely new type of video endoscope, it combines the advantages of both rigid and flexible intubation endoscopes. Video allows everyone involved in the intubation to visualize the anatomy simultaneously which facilitates communication and teamwork.

Full description

It can be connected easily to the same C- MAC monitor and Pocket Monitor without requiring any additional light source and camera. Video allows everyone involved in the intubation to visualize the anatomy simultaneously which facilitates communication and teamwork. The device has no lumens so it's very easy to clean. Basically if you can get a tube between the cheek and teeth you can intubate the patient.
