Overview

C-MAC- Video Stylet is a completely new type of video endoscope. It combines the advantages of both rigid and flexible intubation endoscopes.

C-MAC-VS can be connected easily to the same C- MAC monitor and Pocket Monitor without requiring any additional light source and camera. This device is great for cases with limited mouth opening, airway obstruction and difficult intubation.
