The new flexible optical device for tracheal intubation addresses challenges in medical procedures for airway management by integrating visualization and maneuverability into a single tool. Existing devices for intubation, such as orotracheal tubes and laryngoscopes, often face limitations including difficulty in use, high cost, and the need for specialized skills. This invention brings a unique combination of a real-time visualization camera and a maneuvering mechanism in the distal end of the device, making it easier to navigate through a patient's airway safely and efficiently, even in emergency situations. This integration allows healthcare providers to perform tracheal intubations with greater precision, reduces the dependency on multiple separate tools, and lowers the need for extensive training and expertise. Given its ease of use and efficiency, this innovative device is poised to significantly improve patient outcomes and accessibility in healthcare settings worldwide.
