Video laryngoscopes
McGRATH™ MAC video laryngoscope
<p>The McGRATH™ MAC video laryngoscope is designed for airway intubation in the OR, ICU, ER, and EMS environments.</p>
Features
The McGRATH™ MAC video laryngoscope combines line-of-sight video with the familiar Macintosh technique, so you retain your traditional laryngoscopy skills. Our latest generation McGRATH™ MAC device offers enhanced optics, increased durability, and intelligent battery management – featuring minute-by-minute battery indication and an auto-off feature to optimize battery life.
Elevating airway management is no longer beyond your reach.
When you reach for the McGRATH™ MAC video laryngoscope as your everyday intubation device for pediatric to adult patients and routine to difficult airways, you’ll realize far-reaching benefits for your team and your patients:
- Performance — Make this your default technique so that your first intubation attempt is your best, for the benefit of your team and your patients.‡, 1
- Ergonomics — A familiar, balanced design for intuitive ease of use; video laryngoscopy may support a more ergonomic upright and relaxed intubation position compared to direct laryngoscopy.6
- Clinician safety — Video laryngoscope supports clinicians remaining in an upright intubation position,6 which is recommended to reduce clinician exposure to droplet-borne pathogens.7, 11
- Portability — Handheld, cable-free, and durable with a reliable, simple power source for every intubation – regardless of location.
- Affordability — Cost effective for routine use, offering significant direct and indirect cost savings compared to DL and other VL devices.2, 9
- Minimalist material use - McGRATH™ MAC blades are made with 12.3 gr of transparent medical-grade polymer, reducing material waste 76-83% versus standard disposable blade alternatives in the market. §, 10
§ This includes product measurement weights when compared against BriteBlade™ Pro, Curaplex® CuraView, and Rüsch® Polaris™ per RE00605657.
Disposable blade options
The McGRATH™ MAC video laryngoscope features five sterile, disposable blade size options to support pediatric to adult patients, routine and difficult airways:
- McGRATH™ MAC blades size 1 and 2 are for smaller patients, feature a Macintosh style curvature, and are designed for routine use.
- McGRATH™ MAC blades size 3 and 4 are for adult patients, feature a Macintosh style curvature, and are designed for routine use.
- The McGRATH™ MAC X3 blade features a hyperangulated curvature and is designed for difficult airways ― achieving grade 1 or 2 views in 97% of cases.12
Battery Power Options
2 power options for the McGRATHTM MAC video laryngoscope:
Disposable Battery
- 250 minutes of operating time.13
- Minute-by-minute countdown on the screen, providing an accurate measure of remaining battery life.13
- No charging required, offering flexibility for travel and immediate use.13
Rechargeable battery
- 10,000 minutes of useful life, 120 minutes of operating time.14
- Minute-by-minute battery time countdown on the screen, ensuring an accurate measure of the remaining battery time.14
- LED indicator provides a visual indication of how much power remains in the battery, eliminating guesswork and allowing clinicians to identify ready-to-use batteries.14
- A rigid tab enables quick, single-handed, easy removal. 14
- The McGRATH™ charging station charges up to five batteries simultaneously. No need to plug in or dock handle, helping minimize device downtime and esure a continuous power supply.14
- Transitioning to the McGRATH™ rechargeable batteries helps reduce waste generation by 97.8% and is expected to provide hospitals with long-term cost saving.◊, ¶, 15, 16
Rethink your intubation routine
First-pass intubation success can help you avoid a number of clinical and economic roadblocks associated with difficult intubations.17
Difficult intubations can lead to:12
- Prolonged patient length of stay: 3.8 additonal days compared to nondifficult intubation
- Added costs to your hospital: increase of $14K compared to nondifficult intubation
Results from the EMMA study show that video laryngoscopy can improve first-pass success during routine intubation for clinicians of all experience levels, and can yield a number of added advantages, including better glottic views and lower intubation difficulty scores.‡, 1
