By the way, I held the position you see in the above image (CL3) for volunteers who never held a laryngoscope in their life. They all succeded 1st attempt intubation (with out seeing any vocal cords).

Thank you hometownmedic5 for bringing this up. This is an image of the prototype (used an endoscopic snare as a loop - will be made of plastic tubing in future models). As you can see - even if you try hard you couldn't enter a bougie or tube not through the loop. Also as I mentioned before you...

You are so right, Desert Medic66! If I had to both induce force on the handle and press the handle together, it would be very awkward for me also. But if you only need to use minimal strength on the handle, pressing the trigger becomes very comfortable. I should mention that I also patented a...

My device is not intended to change the position of the anatomy rather it is a device that uses the anatomy (thus is much more safe and effective). One of the drawback of the flex-tip (as far as I understood from a paramedic that used it) was that besides only minimally changing the view, the...

First of all, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to this forum (the 1st forum I presented my device to)! All the issues raised above are very important to address and it helps me understand what I need to clarify in my future presentations. I'll try to address all the points you...

That's also an important point E tank. I must point out that my main goal was not to complicated an already complicated situation; that's why I insisted that the device won't change anything from what the EMT is used to. He/she slides in the device without needing to take into account...

Thank you Akulahauk for bring this up. The device is intended for both bougie and ETT, but at the initial prototype phase it was simpler to target the bougie as the tube of choice. I believe that digital intubation is here to stay and that in the near future blind intubation will be...

Good question, Grimes. Both approaches are possible. The company that will agree to manufacture the device will have to decide what it prefers (mainly financial decision). The loop will be made of plastic tubing that can be detached on one side of the blade by a press of a button after the...

Hi all. My name is Ishay Benuri. I am a pediatric gastroenterologist who volunteers in as an EMT at United Hatzalah service in Israel. After I failed to intubate a trauma patient in the field, I developed a device that is mainly intended as a bridged till a novice paramedic reaches high level...
