Video Laryngoscope – Enhanced Visualization – Clinical Benefits
The video laryngoscope emerged in the late 20th century, combining a standard laryngoscope blade with a video camera to provide enhanced visualization. This innovation significantly improved airway management and intubation success, particularly in complex cases.
Enhanced Visualization
Problem – Obstructed Vision in Soiled Airways
The camera view on a video laryngoscope can become obstructed by bodily fluids, a common issue in soiled airways that may delay the critical, life-saving procedure of intubation. Any delay in securing the airway on the first attempt—also known as ‘first-pass success’—can increase patient morbidity and mortality.
SOLUTION: The IVOS BOSS G4™
IVOS Medical, Inc. is developing a single-use, custom-molded video laryngoscope sheath designed to enhance intubation safety, particularly for high-risk patients.
This disposable sheath is compatible with existing video laryngoscope platforms and incorporates innovative features to improve functionality in challenging intubation scenarios.
The integrated Breathing Optimization and Suction System (BOSS) enables continuous suction by accommodating various suction options, effectively clearing aspirate and debris from the esophagus and trachea. Additionally, the sheath offers independent oxygen delivery, ensuring a clear tracheal view for precise tube placement and improved first-pass success rates.

BOSS continuously clears the viewing window during intubation, reducing patient risks associated with aspiration and camera visualization occlusions that can delay the procedure. By minimizing the time patients go without oxygen, it improves both the safety and success rates of critical interventions. This capability is vital in emergency, perioperative, and intensive care settings, where achieving first-pass intubation success is paramount.
IVOS Medical’s BOSS platform empowers healthcare providers and first responders, raising the standard of care in intubation and enhancing outcomes in emergency intubation situations.
