• 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.
