McGrath Laryngoscope

In order to reduce the need for "blind" intubations, Scotland-based Aircraft Medical has developed the McGrath, the world's first lightweight and fully portable video laryngoscope. Unlike traditional laryngoscopes, the McGrath integrates new patented technology to provide a direct view of the larynx during intubation. The McGrath employs a customized micro-camera to relay an internal image of the larynx to a small high-resolution video screen mounted on the handle of the device. An image of the larynx is captured by the McGrath disposable optical blade and is transferred to a compact flat panel mounted at the top of the handle.
