Thanks to everyone who took a guess on our What Is This Wednesday!

The answer is the GlideScope Go Video Laryngoscope.

A GlideScope Go Video Laryngoscope is a medical device used to help healthcare providers place a breathing tube into a patient’s airway. This allows oxygen to be delivered when a patient cannot breathe adequately on their own.

It’s commonly used in emergency situations or when patients need advanced airway support, helping our team act quickly and safely when breathing becomes difficult.
