FYI: The King Vision is an affordable, durable, portable
video laryngoscope, designed for indirect laryngoscopy and difficult as well
as routine endotracheal intubations. Its standard blade accommodates minimum mouth openings of 13mm and its channeled blade 18mm, making it
effective for most adult patients. The full-color, glare-free display can weather normal wear and tear and repeated cleaning, while the camera and light
source are enclosed in the disposable blade, protecting the fragile optics.
Lightweight, self-contained and battery-operated, the King Vision display is
packaged in a protective foam case and is water-resistant when assembled.
