Abstract: A laryngoscope is described. The laryngoscope has a handle, a tube, and a camera. The handle has proximal and distal ends. The tube has a proximal end, a distal end, a length extending between the proximal end and the distal end, and a first longitudinal axis along the length. The proximal end is connected to the proximal end of the handle. The tube has an inner surface defining a lumen internal space along the length. The lumen internal space creating a line of sight along a longitudinal axis through the tube. The camera is positioned on the inner surface of the tube to have a field of view out of the distal end of the tube. The camera has a second longitudinal axis offset from the first longitudinal axis of the tube, such that the line of sight along the first longitudinal axis through the tube is maintained.

Abstract: The present invention is generally directed toward a laryngoscope having a handle, a rigid tube, and an optical subassembly. The handle has a distal end and a proximate end. The tube is hollow and also has a distal end having a distal opening and a proximate end having a proximate opening. The optical subassembly may include a light source located within the handle, a power source located within the handle and in communication with the light source and a light carrier extending between the handle and the tube and in communication with the light source and providing light inside and along the entire length of the tube.

Abstract: Methods of making and using a bougie having a body with a first insertion depth indicator spaced a first distance from a first end of the body and configured to indicate a first predetermined insertion depth range, and a second insertion depth indicator spaced a second distance from a second end of the body and configured to indicate a second predetermined insertion depth range that is different from the first predetermined insertion depth range are described. To use the bougie, a user determines whether or not the first or second predetermined insertion depth range is appropriate for the patient, and then inserts the appropriate one of the first end or the second end of the body into the mouth of the patient.

Abstract: A bougie is disclosed with a body, and a first depth indicator and a second depth indicator on the body. The body has a first end, a second end, and at least one surface extending between the first and second ends. The first depth indicator is spaced a first distance from the first end and indicates a first predetermined depth range such that the first end is positioned a first predetermined insertion range past the mouth of the patient when the body is positioned into the mouth of the patient. The second depth indicator is spaced a second distance from the second end and indicates a second predetermined depth range such that the second end is positioned a second predetermined insertion range past the mouth when the body is positioned into the mouth of the patient.
