Features
Integrated high resolution camera at patented blade position provides real time view of endotracheal tube (ETT) placement Patented 50 to 60-degree blade angulation designed to view anterior glottis without need for direct line of sight Requires less force than traditional laryngoscopes Slim blade profile helps create working space for quick tube placement Color monitor viewing & video output/recording features are ideal for teaching purposes Patented anti-fogging mechanism resists lens contamination Easy to learn, use and teach	GlideScope® Video Laryngoscope
Clinical Applications
First use intubations - replacing DL Challenging airways - DL Grades I - IV Bariatric surgery Teaching the anatomy of the airway Cervical spine immobilization Reintubation in ICU setting Video-guided tube exchange in ICU Trauma airways Vocal cord visualization	Airway view (Courtesy of Dr. Irene Osborn, Mt. Sinai Medical Center, New York.)

GlideScope^® Video Laryngoscopes include an integrated CMOS camera, an LED light source, a patented anti-fogging mechanism and a reusable, medical-grade plastic shell. The GlideScope^® integrates with a selection of Portable Systems to suit your healthcare environment.

• GlideScope® Cobalt - A single-use Video Laryngoscope that provides a clear, real-time view of the patient's airway enabling quick intubation. Optimized for demanding operating room (OR), emergency department (ED) and intensive care unit (ICU) applications, the GlideScope^® Cobalt single-use design, which eliminates the need for disinfecting the "blade", is ideal for fast-paced intubation settings. GlideScope^® Cobalt consists of: a slim Video Baton, which houses a high-resolution camera with patented anti-fogging mechanism to resist lens contamination; a non-glare color monitor; and single-use, sterile GVL^® Stats in large and small sizes that offer a patented 60-degree blade angulation.
• GlideScope® Ranger – The GlideScope^® Ranger is a portable, compact and durable video laryngoscope that provides a clear, real time view of the patient’s airway for fast intubations in Military and Emergency settings. Featuring rugged, high-impact construction, a patented blade angulation, a non-glare monitor that is easily visible in bright light, and a patented anti-fogging mechanism that resists lens contamination, the GlideScope^® Ranger was designed to be dependable in an array of field conditions.
• GlideScope® GlideRite™ Endotracheal Tube - The GlideRite™ endotracheal tube (ETT) features a unique, flexible tip (patented Parker Flex-Tip™ technology) that is designed to flex and slide past anatomical structures that it encounters in the airway and has been shown to reduce the risk of tube tip hang-ups on the patient’s airway anatomy during intubation.
• GlideScope® Rigid Stylet - Designed specifically for use with the GlideScope^® Video Laryngoscope, the rigid stylet conforms to the GlideScope^® blade shape (a patented design to improve airway view) and eliminates the need to manually shape the stylet to fit down the airway, an important factor during time-critical endotracheal intubations.
