A recent multicenter randomized controlled trial study demonstrates that using McGRATH™ videolaryngoscopy compared with direct laryngoscopy improves first-pass tracheal intubation success in patients having elective surgery.1 Therefore practitioners may consider using this device as first choice for tracheal intubation.
Routine use of the McGRATH™ MAC video laryngoscope (VL) improves first attempt success rate2 and lessens hemodynamic response6,7 while improving economic benefits,8,9 when compared to the traditional direct visualization (DL) technique. McGRATH™ MAC VL provides greater visualization3,4,8 with a familiar Macintosh blade, preparing you for the unexpected during every intubation.
The latest design offers:*,5
The McGRATH™ MAC video laryngoscope is cost-effective8,9 — so it’s within reach for every intubation.
And with disposable, sterile blades and flexible cleaning options, this VL is ready when you are.

The McGRATH™ MAC video laryngoscope features enhanced optics* and is durable for routine use.5
After failed tracheal intubation with direct laryngoscopy, video laryngoscopy is the most commonly used and most successful rescue technique.10
Compared to direct laryngoscopy, routine use of the McGRATH™ MAC video laryngoscope has demonstrated an improved first pass success rate.2
Clinicians should consider routine use of the McGRATH™ MAC VL to reduce the likelihood of difficult intubations regardless of whether a difficult intubation is anticipated.11,12
