Why CoPilot VL+®?

Portable.

Mounts to any IV pole and is small enough to easily go with you where you need it; ER, ICU, Cath lab.

Affordable.

In an editorial piece in the British Journal of Anaesthesia, cost is presented as the primary reason video laryngoscopes are not used for ALL tracheal intubations. CoPilot VL+ is the affordable option for hospitals, ORs and emergency rooms. The cost of a CoPilot VL+® disposable is equivalent to the cost of reprocessing a standard blade.

Easy to use.

Along with a great view of the cords, you can choose your way of intubation, stylet or bougie.

Patented Bougie Port.

Solves the “getting around the corner” problem. Turn the corner with CoPilot VL+®.

Bougie Port

Turn the corner. The first time. Every time.

Have you ever encountered an intubation with a great view of the vocal cords but you just can’t get the tube to go around the corner? CoPilot VL+^® and its patented Bougie Port can increase first attempt success rates for tracheal intubation, thereby improving patient safety and satisfaction, and minimizing provider risk.

Video laryngoscopy shouldn’t be a backup plan; it should be the standard of care for all intubation patients. Get it right the first time, every time. Turn the corner with CoPilot VL+^®.
