英国Aircraft公司全便携式视频喉镜面世

一种全便携式视频喉镜能够大大减少高难度插管带来的危险。

这种喉镜能够自我供电、自我照明，提供喉部清晰视野而且提供的高清晰度、一次性使用的刀片避免了交叉感染。这种设备配备了一体式微型相机与显示工艺。由一次性刀片捕获喉部影像，然后传输到装在手柄顶部的压缩式圆盘面板上。

这种新型Mcgrath系列5型喉镜是Aircraft医疗设备公司科学家长达数年的国际研究与开发的成果，公司声称这是第一种全便携式视频喉镜。公司与欧洲与美国的医生进行了广泛的合作，研制开发新型微型工艺满足临床实践中急诊医学的迫切需求，该公司已经因为杰出的设计与技术进步获得了国家奖励。

Aircraft医疗公司声称，该公司研制产品的途径与众不同。“数以百计医学专家为我们的研究与开发工作做出了贡献。感染科护士、顾问麻醉师、受训麻醉师、辅助医护人员、复苏工作人员、救护人员参与设计过程的每一阶段。”

Fully Portable Video Laryngoscope
 
A new fully portable video laryngoscope can dramatically reduce the risks associated with difficult intubations.

The self-powered, self-illuminating laryngoscope provides unrivalled vision of the larynx and offers high performance, single-use optical blades to combat cross-infection. The instrument has on-board miniature camera and display technology. An image of the larynx is captured by the disposable blade and is transferred to a compact flat panel mounted at the top of the handle.

This new Mcgrath Series 5 laryngoscope is the result of four years of international research and development by scientists at Aircraft Medical (Edinburgh, UK), who said it is the first fully portable video laryngoscope. The company works extensively with doctors in Europe and the United States to develop new and miniaturized technology to meet real and urgent clinical needs, and has won numerous national awards for outstanding design and technologic development.

Aircraft Medical states that its approach to product development is different. “Hundreds of medical specialists contribute to our research and development. Infection control nurses, consultant anesthetists, trainee anesthetists, paramedics, resuscitation officers, and ambulance crews are involved in every stage of the design process.”
