Head Support for Optimal Patient Positioning
The AirSpace (Air Sniffing Position And Chin Elevation) airway management
device is a foam ring that mounts on all OR tables and provides a
custom-fit sniffing position or head-up posi-
tion (ear-to-sternal notch) for
every patient. Placing the
patient in a sniffing position
is accomplished with independent vertical
neck and head position adjustments. You can place
the patient at an incline using the reverse
Trendelenburg position. The device lets you adjust
the head and neck angles while intubating the patient in order to provide an improved
glottic view. It comes with a disposable cover to protect the device from fluids and speeds
cleanup after the operation.

Ergonomic and Efficient Smoke Evacuation Pencil
The Megadyne Zip Pen Smoke Evacuation Pencil lets surgeons experience com-
fortable and precise electrosurgery without the hazards of inhaling surgical
smoke. Zip Pen is significantly more ergonomic than current electrosurgical
pencil designs, with significantly less torque on the
back end of the pencil, says the company. The
Zip Pen also offers surgeons 3 ergonomic
grip options based upon their per-
sonal preferences. The Zip Pen
features a clear suction sleeve
that encapsulates the electrode
for superior smoke capture without
inhibiting surgical site visibility. The ZIP Pen connects to smoke evacua-
tors with ease.
