Description
McGRATH™ MAC video laryngoscope
Reimagining Routine Intubation
Your first attempt at intubation should be your best. Incorporating video laryngoscopy into your routine can make this possible. The McGRATH™ MAC video laryngoscope enhances first-pass intubation success rates for both experienced and novice clinicians, reduces intubation time, and minimizes hemodynamic response compared to traditional direct laryngoscopy.
By combining your core laryngoscopy skills with advanced technology, ergonomic design, and the familiar Macintosh blade, the McGRATH™ MAC video laryngoscope prioritizes ease of use, functionality, clinician comfort, and safety from droplet-borne pathogens. Regular use of video laryngoscopy can also enhance teamwork, human factors, and intubation training, contributing to significant cost savings.
Features
- Enhanced Optics: Improved visual clarity for better intubation.
- Increased Durability: More robust design compared to previous versions.
- Intelligent Battery Management: Minute-by-minute battery indication and auto-off feature to optimize battery life.
- Familiar Technique: Combines line-of-sight video with the traditional Macintosh technique, allowing you to retain your laryngoscopy skills.
Elevating airway management is no longer beyond your reach.
When you reach for the McGRATH™ MAC video laryngoscope as your everyday intubation device for pediatric to adult patients and routine to difficult airways, you’ll realize far-reaching benefits for your team and your patients:
- Performance — Make this your default technique so that your first intubation attempt is your best, for the benefit of your team and your patients.‡,1
- Ergonomics — A familiar, balanced design for intuitive ease of use; video laryngoscopy may support a more ergonomic upright and relaxed intubation position compared to direct laryngoscopy.6
- Clinician safety — Video laryngoscope supports clinicians remaining in an upright intubation position,‡,6 which is recommended to reduce clinician exposure to droplet-borne pathogens.7,10
- Portability — Handheld, cable-free, and durable with a reliable, simple power source for every intubation – regardless of location.
- Affordability — Cost effective for routine use, offering significant direct and indirect cost savings compared to DL and other VL devices.2,9
- Minimalist material use — McGRATH™ MAC disposable blades are made with less than 16 g of transparent medical grade polymer.

Disposable blade options

The McGRATH™ MAC video laryngoscope features five sterile, disposable blade size options to support pediatric to adult patients, routine and difficult airways:
- McGRATH™ MAC blades size 1 and 2 are for smaller patients, feature a Macintosh style curvature, and are designed for routine use.
- McGRATH™ MAC blades size 3 and 4 are for adult patients, feature a Macintosh style curvature, and are designed for routine use.
- The McGRATH™ MAC X3 blade features a hyperangulated curvature and is designed for difficult airways ― achieving grade 1 or 2 views in 97% of cases.11
Rethink your intubation routine
First-pass intubation success can help you avoid a number of clinical and economic roadblocks associated with difficult intubations.12
Difficult intubations can lead to:11
- Prolonged patient length of stay: 3.8 additonal days compared to nondifficult intubation
- Added costs to your hospital: increase of $14K compared to nondifficult intubation
Results from the EMMA study show that video laryngoscopy can improve first-pass success during routine intubation for clinicians of all experience levels, and can yield a number of added advantages, including better glottic views and lower intubation difficulty scores.‡,1
