APA™ Lightweight. Portable. Intuitive. A fusion of traditional practise with pioneering video technology

Difficult intubation occurs in around 2% of routine anaesthetic cases,1 while in the

pre-hospital setting the rate is as high as 7% to 10%.1 Worldwide, up to 600 patients

are estimated to die annually as a result of the complications that occur during

tracheal intubation.2 Direct laryngoscopy is an effective method for securing the

airway while video-assisted laryngoscopy provides an improved view of the glottis.

Handle

Ergonomically designed for use as a

standard Macintosh laryngoscope or as a

The APA™ is a multi-functional device

designed to aid intubation for both routine

and difficult airways.

As a traditional laryngoscope – the Handle

offers high intensity LED illumination.

As a video laryngoscope – the APA™ offers

improved line-of-sight visualisation (up to and

including some Mallampati grade III).

As a difficult airway device – a unique

prism directs the line-of-sight around the

anatomy. The blade is designed to assist in

lifting the epiglottis for grade III and IV cases.

The built-in tracheal tube channel assists the

ETT into the laryngeal opening.

As a teaching tool – the video connection

port allows connection to an external monitor

or a video transfer/recording device as an

effective teaching aid for novice users and

trainees.
