CLEARWATER, Fla.-- / ACCESSWIRE / Airtraq has selected Mercury Medical as their North America Distribution Partner with the signing of an Exclusive Distribution Agreement
Prodol Meditec, SA, manufacturer of the Airtraq video laryngoscope and camera system, has selected Mercury Medical as their Exclusive North America Distributor partner for their state-of-the-art video laryngoscope product line effective January 1, 2022. This exclusive agreement includes distribution in Canada and Puerto Rico.
Airtraq simplifies video laryngoscopy with its ETT channel guide aiding in safety and in reducing intubation time. The fully disposable system with its 90-degree shape works with the anatomy minimizing the need for hyperextension while reducing force.

Airtraq facilitates intubation from any position with clinical evidence of high intubation success rates and is easy to learn. The optional lightweight Wi-Fi camera facilitates video recording and auto recording options.
Mercury Medical is a leading provider of cutting-edge technology in the acute care and emergency markets both in the United States and globally – a philosophy that is fully in line with Airtraq.
John Gargaro MD, President and CEO states: “Our mission is delivering clinically differentiated critical care technology that saves lives throughout the world.
