SmartAirway is cofounded by two physicians to develop a medical device to address the iatrogenic harm arising from intubation, a critical medical procedure performed for major surgeries and respiratory emergencies.  Our stylet focuses on one thing: to help place the breathing tube quickly and easily on the first attempt.  It can be used with any standard breathing tube, is single-use, and at a cost point to allow use with every intubation. Our device can complete the safety profile of video-guided intubation
