Built tough for EMS and designed to reinforce paramedics’ direct laryngoscopy skills, the McGRATH MAC video laryngoscope offers EMS providers an easy-to-implement, cost-effective solution to improve visualization and airway management.
Video laryngoscopy supports first-attempt success of airway intubation. Research shows video laryngoscopy can help prevent clinician exposure to droplet-borne pathogens and further improve your safety.3 Recent guidelines highlight the risks of contracting COVID-19 among those caring for infected patients.3 The guidelines recommend airway management clinicians take precautions to further protect against droplet-borne pathogens.3 The McGRATH™ MAC video laryngoscope is proven to improve first time success rate,1,2 reduce time,5 and lessen hemodynamic response to intubation6 when compared to the traditional direct visualization technique.1,2,5
The next-generation McGRATH MAC video laryngoscope is an enhanced, more robust device designed for routine use in fast-paced hospital and EMS environments. The latest design offers:
The McGRATH MAC video laryngoscope combines line-of-sight video from its portrait display with the familiar Macintosh technique, so you retain your traditional laryngoscopy skills.
