What the hell is it and more importantly why would you need one personally if it has anything to do with intubation?

If I remember correctly, it's just a laryngoscope with a black light, supposed to really intensify the chords or something.

I used it in medic school, I liked it. It is an ergonomicly designed laryngoscope with black light and regular led. It did light up the larynx well but kinda in overkill. The chords do glow though. The best part is that it is ergonomic. The price irrc is 300 for the handle and blades. I havent had any problems with a regular handle though.

I played with one at the EMS Expo last year... looked cool, but was expensive and honestly I'd prefer a bougie.
I've played with them on a mannikin. It seemed pretty cool. One of the handles had a more exaggerated curve to it which didn't really let you fulcrum which was neat. No excuse for just learning good form but neat anyway. I really liked how bright it was. Haven't used one in the field though. They were a little uncomfortable for me though because my hands are so small they didn't quite fit the ergonomic design.
