KARL STORZ Endoscopy is dedicated to providing comprehensive tools to facilitate airway management in both difficult and routine environments. Our array of mobile, compact products assist tracheal intubations and address unexpectedly difficult intubations in all OR, emergency medicine, ICU, NICU, and pre-hospital trauma settings. In addition, the use of video provides numerous benefits for instructors as well as students learning intubation techniques.

The use of video-assisted airway devices has been shown to enhance patient safety and physician efficiency. In addition, the use of video laryngoscopes improves the grade of view by one to two grades, reducing the incidence of difficult intubations. Additionally, based on a recent study involving a 200-patient cohort, KARL STORZ Video Laryngoscope blades have been shown to show promise in improving airway management and training.*
