Video laryngoscopes
McGRATH™ MAC video laryngoscope
The McGRATH™ MAC video laryngoscope is designed for airway intubation in the OR, ICU, ER, and EMS environments.
Description
Your routine intubation — reimagined.
Your first attempt at intubation should be your best attempt. When you make video laryngoscopy part of your intubation routine, it can be.1–3 The McGRATH™ MAC video laryngoscope improves first-pass intubation success rates for experienced and inexperienced clinicians alike,1 reduces intubation time,4 and lessens hemodynamic response to intubation5 when compared to the traditional direct laryngoscopy (DL) technique.
Combining your core laryngoscopy skills with our technology, ergonomic design, and familiar macintosh blade, the McGRATH™ MAC video laryngoscope makes ease of use, functionality, clinician comfort,6 and safety from droplet-borne pathogens7 a priority.† And when used with regularity, video laryngoscopy can also support teamwork, human factors,8 and intubation training, and can contribute to significant direct and indirect cost savings.†,2,9
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 is an enhanced, more robust device compared to the previous version. It 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.7,10
- 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 disposable blades are made with less than 16 g of transparent medical grade polymer.
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.11
Rethink your intubation routine
First-pass intubation success can help you avoid a number of clinical and economic roadblocks associated with difficult intubations.12
Difficult intubations can lead to:11
- 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
