Description:

The McGrath™ MAC Video Laryngoscope is a handheld, 7.1-in–tall airway device that merges a CMOS camera, high-intensity LED, and 2.5-inch color LCD into a sealed IPX7 handle weighing just 0.44 lb. A proprietary 3.6 V lithium pack delivers about 250 minutes of continuous runtime, while the auto-dimming screen shows minute-by-minute battery life. Sterile, single-use blades in Macintosh sizes 1-4—and the hyper-angulated X3—snap over the CameraStick™, offering familiar direct or video views without additional stylets. The rugged thermoplastic/alloy chassis tolerates routine disinfection and operates from 50 °F to 104 °F, making it equally suited to the OR, EMS bags, or critical-care transport carts.

Economic Advantage:

By packing a sub-half-pound screen-on-handle form factor and low-cost disposable blades, the McGrath MAC lets providers upgrade to video laryngoscopy without the cart-mounted monitors or reprocessable metal blades typical of earlier systems. Its high first-pass success and faster intubation times—documented across routine and difficult airways—reduce drug use, hypoxia episodes, and room turnover delays, while the 250-minute battery and universal blade platform allow a single unit to cover multiple rooms and transport calls, lowering capital and maintenance costs for hospitals and EMS agencies.
