VieScope Vaby

bébé Vie Scope™

Adroit Surgical’s patented one size pediatric bébé Vie Scope™ is a self-contained, battery-powered, disposable laryngoscope for intubating toddlers to age 10 years . The light is transmitted through the sidewall of the tube from end to end, as well as within the lumen of the tube to give the user the best illumination of the vocal cords with minimal chance of light obstruction by secretions or blood. The bébé Vie™ technique is similar to the Vie Scope® in one respect only with gentle rotation against the upper gum or teeth using a rubber tooth guard extending along its length. Unlike the Vie Scope® which has an enclosed tube, the bébé Vie™ has a large open slot on the right side of the blade along its entire length. Users can intubate children with an age appropriate endotracheal tube (ETT) directly using a ‘sideways’ insertion technique. Users can insert the tip of the bébé Vie Scope™ either in the vallecula like a Macintosh laryngoscope, or use the blade tip to elevate the epiglottis just like a Miller. The bébé Vie Scope™ can also be used as a bougie introducer
