IntuBlade was founded by a former Army Medic who grew tired of witnessing preventable deaths of patients due to faulty laryngoscope designs.

Determined to find a solution, Dr. Napier spent the next decade working on prototypes and eventually created IntuBlade, a medical device with a patented lens clearing technology that ensures rapid and successful intubations every use.

IntuBlade aims to eliminate complications and save lives by reducing the number of unnecessary infections, brain damage, and deaths caused by intubation procedures, which currently cost a collective $9 billion annually.

Our journey has been marked by continual innovation, strategic decisions, and fruitful partnerships, all aimed at bringing our groundbreaking video laryngoscope to those who need it most.

We are thrilled for what's ahead.

Wow, what an incredible event the Anesthesiology Annual Meeting was! We had the opportunity to showcase our device to anesthesiologists at their biggest conference.

IntuBlade was met with overwhelming appreciation, thanks to our standout feature: the only video laryngoscope that has the ability to clear the lens.

We're thrilled to share that our device received a tremendous amount of interest, and our preorder list just keeps growing. Plus, our global family is expanding as international interest is skyrocketing. We're gearing up to meet this incredible demand and make a worldwide impact.

Big thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth and made this event unforgettable. Stay tuned for more exciting updates on our journey.

Behold the final prototype of the IntuBlade system! We've reached a major milestone in our product development journey. Stay tuned as we work towards enhancing its functionalities and testing its capabilities. The future of airway management is here!

We're driven by a mission to revolutionize emergency healthcare, drawing on real-world experiences from the field of combat. Our innovative device, IntuBlade, is a video laryngoscope with a unique, lifesaving feature.

IntuBlade features a patented and award-winning lens-cleaning nozzle, a true game-changer in the world of emergency medicine.

You might be wondering: Can current intubation devices effectively clear contaminants? The answer is a clear NO.

Learn more about IntuBlade and how we're innovating in emergency healthcare by visiting our FAQ page at: www.intublade.com

Together, we can make a difference. Together, we save lives.

Providing safer and more effective intubation solutions is at the core of what we do at IntuBlade.

A question we often get asked is, "Does the fluid spray from the IntuBlade device pose a risk of aspiration?"

Here's our answer: Patient safety is our top priority. Our device's spray function is designed to clear the lens for better visibility during intubation, and we've taken every measure to ensure it doesn't compromise patient safety. The spray's volume and pressure are precisely calibrated to minimize aspiration risk. Furthermore, the spray is typically applied before intubation, when the patient's airway protection reflexes are still intact, further reducing the likelihood of aspiration.

As always, we recommend that clinicians exercise appropriate judgment and precautions based on each patient's unique condition and circumstances.

IntuBlade ensures a 100% first-pass airway success rate! But how do we make this happen?

IntuBlade's innovative video laryngoscope with a patented spray function delivers unparalleled visibility during intubations, eliminating the key issue of lens fogging or debris blockage, the primary causes of intubation failure.

Our device not only provides clear visual access to the airway but also aids in precise navigation, ensuring that the airway is accessed correctly on the first attempt. This significantly reduces complications, shortens procedure time, and enhances patient safety.

By ensuring 100% first-pass success, IntuBlade is revolutionizing the way medical professionals approach intubations. We're committed to improving patient care and creating a safer, more efficient future in medical procedures.
