McGrath™ MAC Video Laryngoscope | Medtronic (Norge)

Higher first-pass intubation success rate using McGRATH™ MAC videolaryngoscope

A recent multicenter randomized controlled trial study demonstrates that using McGRATH™ videolaryngscopy 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 response^6,7 while improving economic benefits,^8,9 when compared to the traditional direct visualization (DL) technique. McGRATH™ MAC VL provides greater visualization^3,4,8 with a familiar Macintosh blade, preparing you for the unexpected during every intubation.

Enhanced optics
Increased durability
Intelligent battery management

The McGRATH™ MAC video laryngoscope is cost-effective^8,9 — so it’s within reach for every intubation.

And with disposable, sterile blades and flexible cleaning options, this VL is ready when you are.
