C-MAC® S

The Video Laryngoscope for Single Use that Meets the Highest Hygiene Standards

The C-MAC® S video laryngoscope has the same outstanding features and all the familiar benefits of the reusable C-MAC® video laryngoscopes while meeting the highest hygiene standards. In contrast to other video laryngoscopes for single use, the blade and handle form one continuous piece which significantly reduces the danger of cross-contamination, even in the case of high-risk patients. The ergonomically designed imager can be reprocessed at temperatures up to 65 °C and thus completes the hygiene chain. In line with ISO 7376 standards, the C-MAC® S video laryngoscope features high tensile strength and is extremely robust.

Special Features:

  • Blade and handle form one continuous piece: Optimum protection against infections
  • Imager can be reprocessed with a high-level disinfection method up to 65 °C
  • Three blade types: MACINTOSH #3, #4 and D-BLADE with short handle
  • Extremely sturdy plastic material with high tensile strength
  • Compatible with the C-MAC® monitor and C-HUB®

C-MAC® Video Laryngoscopes for Pediatrics and Neonatology

For solutions that fit: The new MACINTOSH 0

To meet requirements for pediatrics and neonatology, particularly when dealing with the difficult airway, the C-MAC® video laryngoscope portfolio has been expanded to include the MACINTOSH 0. Five different blades are available for video laryngoscopy in pediatrics and neonatology: MILLER 0 and 1, MACINTOSH 0 and 2 as well as D-BLADE Ped.
