Product Description: The GlideScope® Direct intubation trainer is designed to facilitate instruction of direct laryngoscopy (DL). Now instructors can watch and guide a DL intubation as it happens. As part of the AVL family, the Direct combines the features of a standard Macintosh blade with AVL video technology: • Digital monitor • Realtime recording • Advanced resolution output for OR theater viewing • Reusable and single-use options.

Product Description: A highly efficient anesthesia workstation, the Apollo helps manage your increasingly complex workflow. The high-speed piston ventilator works with great precision to supply a maximum peak flow far in excess of any bellows ventilator, resulting in the kind of performance previously only seen in the ICU. Its unique “Low Flow Wizard” is designed to support optimal low and minimal flow settings, which can significantly reduce the cost of inhalational anesthetic agent.
