Verathon has expanded its GlideScope Spectrum QC product line with four new single-use video laryngoscopes designed specifically for neonatal and pediatric patients. These additions provide clinicians with advanced tools to improve intubation success rates and enhance care for their smallest patients, the company says.

The new video laryngoscopes, including Miller 00, Miller 2, Mac 1, and Mac 2, are tailored to meet the unique needs of neonatal and pediatric patients. By combining these new additions with existing blade shapes and sizes, Verathon is ensuring that clinicians have the right tools to provide effective and compassionate care in Children’s Hospitals, NICUs, and PICUs. The adoption of single-use video laryngoscopes delivers the assurance of critical product availability when it matters the most and enhances patient and provider safety.

“Effective airway management in neonatal and pediatric patients is vital for ensuring the best outcomes for some of our most vulnerable populations,” said Dr. Taylor Sawyer, Chief of Neonatology at the University of Washington and Seattle Children’s Hospital. “Video laryngoscopy has emerged as a promising alternative to traditional laryngoscopy methods. The International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation’s Consensus on Science with Treatment Recommendations endorses video laryngoscopy as an alternative approach1. Launching this new portfolio of pediatric video laryngoscopes aligns perfectly with these evolving guidelines and will help enhance the quality of care we provide.”

This introduction further expands the GlideScope video laryngoscope portfolio to address diverse clinical needs for difficult and routine airways. The new pediatric video laryngoscopes strengthen Verathon’s Total Airway Solution, integrating single-use video laryngoscopy and bronchoscopy in one system.

Clinical Applications of the New Video Laryngoscopes:

  • Miller 00 – Suited for neonates and premature infants. 
  • Miller 2 – Suited for pediatric patients and small adults. 
  • Mac 1 and Mac 2 – Suited for infants and small children.

“At Verathon, we are committed to advancing innovative airway management solutions for pediatric and neonate patients” said Parimal Shah, Senior Vice President of the Visualization Business Unit. “Working closely with our customers, we are excited to introduce our new Mac and Miller blades, enabling pediatric teams to deliver life-saving care with confidence.”

The four new pediatric blade sizes are commercially available in the United States.
