Verathon launches GlideScope Go portable video laryngoscope

Verathon Inc. yesterday announced the launch of its portable GlideScope Go video laryngoscope. The Bothell, Wash.-based company’s device is a portable, high-res system for clinicians to use in hospital and pre-hospital settings. The display was designed for improved visualization and first-pass intubation, Verathon said. The unit is compatible with GlideScope Spectrum single-use blades for patients of all ages, according to the company. “GlideScope Go is an intuitive, handheld solution that adds versatility to clinical airway management,” Tim Shauf, VP & GM of Verathon’s respiratory & surgical solutions biz, said in prepared remarks. “Combining GlideScope Go with our Spectrum blades delivers a high-resolution image powered by the latest advancements in lighting and camera technology—including Dynamic Light Control and Ambient Light Reduction.” “GlideScope Go gives clinicians the confidence of GlideScope technology wherever and whenever they need it,” president Earl Thompson added. “They’re ideal for use in small spaces, emergent procedures, and any setting that requires mobility. GlideScope Go also complements GlideScope cart-based systems, so facilities can standardize their video laryngoscope training and efficiency.” See the best minds in medtech live at DeviceTalks Boston on Oct. 2.  The post Verathon launches GlideScope Go portable video laryngoscope appeared first on MassDevice.
