Interview: Dr. James DuCanto on video laryngoscopy and the HEINE visionPRO

Should video laryngoscopes be used as the standard in almost every intubation?

Dr. James DuCanto, anesthesiologist and airway management expert (Rush University, Chicago, USA), answers this question in our interview with Walter Loaiza, HEINE CCO. We also talked about the developments in airway management and the benefits of video laryngoscopy such as significantly improved visualization of the airway and enhanced teamwork. Dr. DuCanto also shares his experiences with the HEINE visionPRO video laryngoscope.

New hyperangulated HyMac 3 blade for the HEINE visionPRO video laryngoscope

The HEINE visionPRO video laryngoscope is suitable for routine use during any intubation procedure. Every now and again, when intubating with a video laryngoscope, users can encounter airway situations that require them to look a little more ‘around the corner’ and where it may be beneficial to use a slightly more curved blade. The new HEINE HyMac single-use blade with a more pronounced curvature is now available specifically for these special situations.

HEINE is thus expanding its range of blades for the visionPRO video laryngoscope, which previously only included blades in the classic Macintosh shape.
