The McGRATH MAC Video Laryngoscope is a portable airway device from Medtronic. It combines a reusable handle with an integrated colour display and a single-use CameraStick blade that carries the camera and light source close to the tip, giving the operator a magnified, on-screen view of the larynx during intubation.
What is the McGRATH MAC used for?
It is used to obtain a view of the glottis and to guide placement of a tracheal tube. Because it displays the airway on a screen rather than relying solely on a direct line of sight, it is used both for routine intubation and for patients with an anticipated or unanticipated difficult airway.
Design
- Self-contained — the display is built into the handle, so there is no trolley, external monitor or trailing cable to manage
- Single-use blades — a fresh CameraStick blade for every patient, which removes reprocessing and supports infection-prevention practice
- Blade options — a range of sizes and geometries, including a Macintosh-style profile familiar to users of direct laryngoscopy and more angulated profiles for difficult views
- Battery powered — suitable for the operating theatre, emergency department, intensive care and pre-hospital environments
Where it is used
Anaesthesia and operating theatres, emergency medicine, intensive care, and retrieval/pre-hospital services — anywhere tracheal intubation is performed and a portable video option is valued.
Clinical context
Video laryngoscopy is one tool within a structured airway-management plan. Operator training, correct blade selection and familiarity with the device all affect first-attempt success. Follow current difficult-airway guidance and your local protocols.

Frequently asked questions
What is a video laryngoscope?
A laryngoscope with a camera and light near the blade tip that displays the airway on a screen, so the operator does not depend only on a direct line of sight to the larynx.
Are the McGRATH MAC blades reusable?
No. The CameraStick blades are single-use — a new blade is used for each patient and then discarded, which removes reprocessing and supports infection control.
Can it be used for a difficult airway?
Yes. It is used for routine intubation and for anticipated or unanticipated difficult airways, as part of a structured airway plan and with appropriate blade selection.
Does it need a separate monitor or trolley?
No. The display is integrated into the handle and the device is battery powered, so it is self-contained and portable.
